Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg whites, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and applesauce. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices as they are, or lightly toast them for extra texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
