Banana s'mores loaf
4PP, 4SP blue, green & purple
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon egg whites I use simply egg whites from the carton
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 3 medium mashed banana's
- 1 cup flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Crushed graham crackers 26g All crackers are different sizes, the ones I buy come in squares and 4 is equal to 26g
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 square 10g lindt 70% dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a regular size loaf pan with some cooking spray.
- In a bowl whisk together your egg and egg whites, stir in your brown sugar and mix well.
- Mix in banana, apple sauce and vanilla.
- Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda and crushed graham crumbs but leave 1 tablespoon aside for topping, I crush mine the old fashioned way, in a small zip lock and use a heavy glass.
- Mix well then fold in your chocolate chips, pour batter out into your loaf pan.
- Bake in oven for 45 minutes.
- Let cool for 30 minutes then remove loaf from tin.
- Melt your marshmallow fluff in microwave for approx 30 seconds, it will rise then spread quickly over your loaf, then melt your chocolate in a small dish, I do 35 second intervals turning each time til melted. Drizzle over loaf then sprinkle your remaining graham crumbs over top. Cut into 10 equal pieces.
- Makes 10 slices at 4 personal points or 4 smart points each, blue, green & purple (3 points plus) best stored in fridge.
- Nutritional info per serving (not incl banana) Calories 98... Fat 2g... Sat fat 1g... Carbs 18.8g... Fiber 1.4g...Sugars 5.7g...Protein 2.8g
- *Please note when figuring out nutritional info I do not include fruit as there is no smart point value in fruits and I don't want it to change the numbers for when someone inputs them into the WW calculator, if you need the true macros just add in the banana count.

Hello,
Have you ever considered switching your flour to spelt, or something healthier? If so, do you know how that affects SP?
Drizzle
Hi Natasha, no sorry I have not, I am not interested in using spelt as I really don't like it 🙁 My recipes are pretty WW friendly as is by using reg flour, I can't tell you how it would affect the points using it, maybe you can check the WW app??
Lori

Hi Lori, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Hi there! This look divine! I'm wondering how you think it might impact the loaf if I just used entirely egg whites rather than adding the 1 egg. Any thoughts? I'm only asking from laziness as I only have egg whites in the house!
Thank you in advance 🙂
Drizzle
Hi, I don't think it will affect it too much, you should be ok 🙂
Rosa
Can i use melted marshmallows?
Drizzle
Sure, I don't see why not, although they might have a few more points than the spread
Roberta
Can I change the flour to gluten free will work kit the same
Drizzle
Hi I am not familiar with baking with GF flour so I can't give you an honest answer but I say give it a go 🙂
Kim
Can I make muffins instead of a loaf?
Drizzle
Yes I think muffins will work out well
Dakota
Do you use overripe bananas for this recipe like you would with banana bread?
Drizzle
You don't have to, as long as they are ripe they will still work out fine, as will over ripe
