Weight Watcher Friendly Banana Bread (Low Fat)
I grew up eating a very yummy, but very fattening version of banana bread. Since starting Weight Watchers, I wanted to recreate the same type of bread without all the fat as well as incorporating whole grains. I actually prefer to make these as muffins so I have the perfect portion size every time. Each muffin or serving is 2 WW points.
