Happy first day of fall, everyone! (Couldn’t resist saying it). Fall is truly my favorite season. The crisp mornings and evenings are a welcome change from the summer heat, and the explosion of colors on the trees is simply breathtaking. It’s a time for cozy sweaters, warm beverages, and of course, delicious baked goods! Speaking of which, my daughter recently requested a special treat for school lunch, and she made it very clear she wasn’t looking for anything “diet-y” this time. Knowing her love for banana bread, I decided to take it up a notch and create a truly decadent fall treat. This decadent caramel banana bread isn’t just any banana bread – it’s infused with rich caramel sauce and studded with chocolate chips for a delightful flavor explosion. 
It’s the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of fall and enjoy a warm, comforting slice any time of day. Plus, it surprisingly comes in at a budget-friendly 4 Weight Watchers Points per serving! So, ditch the store-bought snacks and whip up a loaf of this goodness. Your taste buds (and your kids!) will thank you for it.
Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!
Why not spruce up a classic?!
Caramel is great for any dessert, and banana bread is no exception. It adds a touch of sweetness and pairs perfectly with the flavor of banana and chocolate.

This recipe is lightened up by using nonfat Greek yogurt rather than butter or oil. You still get a great flavor without sacrificing a ton of calories or points.

I really liked this, and so did my non-weight watchers roommate… but the batter was super thick/sticky for me and I had to add a fair amount of milk to combat. The only thing I can think of is that my banana wasn’t *that* ripe. Anyone have thoughts for something that might have gone wonky with mine?
Hi Molli, yeah possibly the banana, or maybe your bananas were very small? either way I am glad you both enjoyed it
I am thinking mini muffins. Only because I will eat the full loaf at least I can freeze the muffins.
Sounds like a good plan 🙂 You can freeze the loaf in single servings as well
Is it a 1 pound or a 2 pound loaf tin that you used? ?
I use a standard 9×5 loaf pan
Can I substitute with GF flour?
Hi Jen, I am not familiar with baking with GF flour so all I can say is give it a try
I made this without the caramel (bc I didn’t have any at the time). When I entered it into my WW, I could do 6 pieces at 4pts / each. Which is a nice size. This is a really good recipe!!
