    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9- x 4-inch loaf pan; set aside.

    Whisk together flours, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together bananas, oil, apple juice, vanilla, milk and yogurt. Add banana mixture to flour mixture and stir just to combine. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Set aside to let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
