One of the things I always miss when trying to eat healthy are sweets. This weight watchers banana bread recipe is only 1 PointsPlus per mini muffin or 3 PointPoints per slice. It fits right into my daily point allowance and is truly the perfect treat to satisfy that craving I have. Not only is it full of potassium and fiber thanks to the bananas, but it is amazingly moist and so much like a traditional Banana Bread that you won’t be able to tell that it is actually lower in fat and calories.
Weight Watchers Banana Bread Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
3 Ripe Bananas Mashed
¼ Cup Coconut Oil
1 Cup Splenda
1 Cup All Purpose Flour (sifted)
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray loaf pan or muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl beat together bananas, coconut oil and Splenda until well mixed.
- Add in sifted flour and baking soda until just moistened.
- Mix in vanilla and pour into already sprayed loaf pan or muffin tin (if making muffins spoon until each tin is approximately ¾ full)
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes if loaf and 20-25 minutes if muffins. Cook times may vary slightly depending on type of pan (glass or metal) and individual ovens.
Weight Watchers Points:
Total recipe = 41 SmartPoints and 26 PointsPlus
Make 24 mini muffins =
- 2 SmartPoints per mini muffin
- 1 PointsPlus per mini muffin
- 2 WW points (old system) per mini muffin
Make 10 servings per loaf =
- 4 SmartPoints per slice
- 3 PointPoints per slice
- 4.8 WW points per slice (old system)
Make 12 serving per loaf =

Lower the point values per loaf by substituting 1/4 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt & 1 egg white instead of the coconut oil – you bring it down to 13 SmartPoints and 12 PointsPlus total for the recipe.

Hi,
I just made this today and it was delicious. Do u know all of the nutritional info or at least how many calories per slice?
Glad you liked it! Sorry, I was focused on using the weight watchers calculator and didn’t put together the calories.
Would you happen to know how many points it would be using real sugar? I don’t eat Splenda. Thank you!
Are the points listed Points Plus or Smart Points. Thank you.
These are still Points Plus. Smart Points haven’t been updated yet.
We now have SmartPoints and PointsPlus on all the recipes
Banana bread is always a favorite in my house! Thanks for linking up with our Merry Monday party this week!
