Creating a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread that’s just 1 point on Weight Watchers is quite challenging because bananas and chocolate chips usually add points. However, I can help you make a very low-point version that’s delicious and close to that goal by using smart swaps and portion control!
🍌 Low-Point Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (Approx. 1 WW Point per slice)
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed (use very small bananas or reduce quantity for lower points)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour (for fiber)
- 1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 large egg whites)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce (adds moisture, zero points)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons stevia or your favorite zero-point sweetener
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (use very sparingly!)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mash the bananas well.
- Add egg whites, applesauce, vanilla, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips carefully.
- Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Points Tips:
- Using egg whites instead of whole eggs reduces fat and points.
- Mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips are used very sparingly to keep points low.
- Portion control is key — slice the loaf into 12 small pieces to keep each around 1 WW point.
- Using zero-point sweeteners and applesauce helps add sweetness and moisture without points.
