This whole banana bread loaf is only 3 points can you believe that? It's not a normal size loaf pan it's a mini. Still a decent size loaf of bread for that many points. If you don't have a mini loaf pan, you can add the batter to a regular size loaf pan but it would be a really flat loaf. Almost like a pancake. Perfect for Fall Baking.
Banana bread is a beloved classic treat that can be made healthier with a few simple swaps. To create a healthier version of banana bread, you can substitute some of the traditional ingredients with healthier options. For example, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour to increase the fiber content. Additionally, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.

Why this Low Point Banana Bread is Perfect for Weight Watchers
When I first started WW freestyle, I was kind of bummed because anything with extra sugar added to it was really high in points now compared to their previous plan. After being on this plan now and seeing all the different things WW members make, you can still bake if you enjoy doing that. One thing about baking for me is, eating the whole entire loaf as one portion.
That can be pretty bad if the recipe wasn't adapted to make it more WW friendly. It's terrible when I want to make bars, but since being on this program, I've really cut back on my baking and only do it maybe once a month now. Now that it's Fall, I want to make all the baked goods.

Ingredients Need for Weight Watchers Banana Bread
- Banana, mashed - the ideal bananas to use are ripe bananas with brown spots on the peel. These bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which enhances the taste of the banana bread.
- Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Oats - quick-cooking oats or instant - I have not tested this with steel cut
- Kodiak Protein Pancake and Waffle Mix - Kodiak is my favorite brand of pancake mixes because of the protein content that is in the mixes. There are quite a few flavors to choose from like chocolate or blueberry.
- Baking powder - is a leavening agent used in many baked goods, such as cakes, muffins, and biscuits. It is made up of a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch.
- Pinch of salt
- Vanilla extra - It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.

Pumpkin puree would probably work! Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup.
