Weight Watchers Banana Bread Recipe
Weight Watchers Banana Bread Recipe
4 points per serving!
Even though my husband and I are on Weight Watchers again, I have to find things to take care of my sweet tooth too! Last week I shared the Weight Watchers Mini Brownie Bites that we made. They were so good and well worth the 2 points. But this week, I wanted to try something else. We have this banana problem in our house. I can buy some one week and they will be gone in two days. I can buy them again, and most of them will be untouched and go bad. So I’m on a mission to use these bananas and stop letting them go to waste. This Weight Watchers Banana Bread Recipe is great for breakfast or a sweet snack AND is only 4 points per serving!

Great banana bread recipe! I am also on WW – you didn’t mention how many points. Is it the same as the brownie bites??
I am so sorry! This banana bread is 4 points per slice. I have updated the recipe. I may also look into a way of substituting some ingredients to lower the points.
Hi Wendy,
I make Banana Bread all the time and I use 100% whole wheat pastry flour,
and I use 1/3 c. of light olive oil and 1/2 c. of agave the rest of the ingredients are the same I never checked what the point value; but it taste really good.
My family has no idea I am using whole wheat flour and they like it.
