Weight Watchers Banana Bread

I don't know that I have met anyone who doesn't like banana bread. The smell of it cooking makes the house so warm and cozy. There is a way for people trying to lose weight to still get to eat banana bread! This Weight Watchers Banana Bread is so good you won't miss those extra calories! It is definitely a Weight Watchers recipe you will want to keep!

Weight Watchers Banana Bread

One way to help reduce the chance that I will overeat this Weight Watchers banana bread is to make mini loaves. Plus I think mini loaves are CUTE!  😆 

Did I mention they make great gifts? You could even make a batch and take it to your Weight Watchers meeting. Who wouldn't want an adorable mini loaf of banana bread with this yummy recipe attached to it!

How to Make Weight Watchers Banana Bread

This is a wet ingredient/dry ingredient recipe.  I think it is kind of a pain..but the outcome is so worth it!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Start by putting all of your dry ingredients into a bowl. Using a mixer, mix the dry ingredients so they are well combined.

Next put your wet ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

It is time to pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Don't over stir this!

Grab your 4 mini loaf pans sized 5 x 3 and grease them. I like to use nonstick cooking spray. If you use butter you will need to add those points!

Divide the batter evening between the four pans.

Last you can sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips on top of each mini loaf before placing in the oven.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

How Many Points Does This Banana Bread Have?

I am really happy with how the points turned out for this recipe. You can eat 1/2 of a mini loaf for only 3 myWW Points on Blue and Green plans. The purple plan is only 2 myWW Points for 1/2 a loaf! That is a pretty big portion!! 

Now if you leave off the mini chocolate chips the points will decrease to 2 Points for Blue and Green and only 1 point for Purple!  So you have an option to lower the points even more. 

Now if you want to get even LOWER….divide each mini loaf into 3 equal portions and leave off the chocolate chips!

What is Your Favorite Weight Watchers Recipe?

I can't really narrow it down to just one. When I find a healthy and delicious Weight Watchers recipe I will make it over and over. 

One that I love is Triple Berry Crisp…it is a dessert but full of berries and low in points!

I would love to hear what some of your favorite WW recipes are! Let me know how you like the Weight Watchers Banana Bread!
