    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.

    To make this banana bread gluten-free use a gluten-free use your favorite gluten-free mix.

    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.
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements. 

    How to make Banana Bread

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 350.

    Step 2: Mash the banana in a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg, oats, pancake mix, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract and stir to combine until everything is well incorporated.

    How do I store leftovers?  Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container. 

    How do you figure out points for recipes? 

    Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe I use the WW app to figure out points and myfitnesspal for nutrition. 

    Where are the points for the recipe? 

    The points for the recipe will always be listed in the Notes section of the recipe.

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

      Love this recipe! Any chance you have tried this recipe- but making it a pumpkin bread?
      I would love to try…I wonder if substituting one banana for pumpkin purée- what do you think!
