Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Weight Watchers Low Point Banana Bread:

• Self-rising flour – This simplifies the recipe since it already contains leavening agents.
• Baking powder & baking soda – Helps give the banana bread that perfect rise.
• Ripe bananas – The star of the show! Make sure your bananas are super ripe to bring out their natural sweetness.
• Egg – Adds structure and moisture to the bread.
• Vanilla extract – A little vanilla goes a long way in enhancing the flavor.
• Brown sugar substitute – I use Lakanto Golden Sweetener for that deep, molasses-like flavor without the points.
• White sugar substitute – Lakanto Classic Sweetener works great for the sweetness without adding sugar.
• Light butter or unsweetened applesauce – Your choice! Light butter adds richness, while applesauce keeps it moist without extra fat.

Tip: The unsweetened applesauce option is ideal if you’re trying to reduce fat, while light butter adds a little extra richness if you’re craving that buttery taste.

How to Make Weight Watchers Low Point Banana Bread

Quick Overview:

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Mash ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.

Mix wet ingredients: Add egg, vanilla, and sugar substitutes (Lakanto Golden & Classic).

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl: self-rising flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Fold dry ingredients into the banana mixture, then stir in melted light butter or applesauce.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool the banana bread before slicing and enjoy 2 WW Points® per slice!

Tips & FAQs:

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this banana bread gluten-free, simply substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend that includes a leavening agent (or add 1 tsp baking powder to your gluten-free flour if it doesn’t have one).

Can I use regular sugar instead of sugar substitutes?
Yes, you can substitute regular sugar, but keep in mind it will increase the WW Points® and calorie count per slice. Using Lakanto or other sugar substitutes helps keep this recipe low in points.

Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to add about ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or even mini chocolate chips. Just remember that these additions will increase the points and calorie count, so adjust accordingly.

Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes! If you have bananas in the freezer, thaw them first and then mash them. Frozen bananas tend to release extra moisture, so you might want to reduce the applesauce or butter slightly if using.

Can I make muffins instead of a loaf?
Definitely! This recipe works well as muffins. Simply divide the batter into a greased 12-count muffin tin and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
