Happy first day of fall y'all ... Ha! I just really wanted to say that 😉 I love fall, everything about it, crisp cool mornings and evenings, beautiful colors on the trees, warm cozy sweaters, a hot cuppa tea with a warm fresh baked loaf... yup all things fall are a-ok in my books and I would take 365 days of fall a year if I could! My daughter requested a yummy loaf that she could take to school for lunch, and in her words she did'nt want it too "diety" Ha! She loves banana loaf so I took it up a notch and sweetened it up with caramel sauce and chocolate chips.. The end result was a delicious decadent loaf and she loved it. Just 4 smart points per piece and what better way to celebrate fall with a warm fresh slice of this yummy loaf!

I just found your site and yesterday I made this recipe but subbed pumpkin for the banana (because my bananas were not ripe enough to use and I had pumpkin on hand), SOO GOOD! Thank you so much for these delicious and healthy recipes. I can't wait to try more of them.

sherry
what can you substitute for the yogurt?
Drizzle
Apple sauce maybe? It might change texture and taste slightly
Amanda
I'm not sure if you will see this since this post is older, but did you use sugar free caramel syrup or lite brown sugar or just regular?
Drizzle
Hi, just regular for both 🙂
Annette
I finally made this recipe on the weekend. So yummy and so satisfying! Thank you for sharing 🙂 I just love your recipes.
Drizzle
Hi Annette, so glad you enjoyed the loaf recipe 🙂

I think if you are serving the loaf to company, you might wait and drizzle the caramel just before serving. It would look really decadent then!
Drizzle
Yes, great suggestion 🙂 Thanks
Dena
So I am late making this recipe, but stumbled across it and whipped it up last night. It is incredible!! Even my son liked it (and he is picky). Will definitely be making this again. It is so hard for me to decide which loaf to make because all your recipes are excellent!!
Drizzle
Hi Dena, I am so glad you both enjoyed the loaf, I love baking up loaves, hopefully you enjoy the others 🙂
Elly
OMG, sooo good. Thank-you:)
Drizzle
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Raquel
Love this recipe! I make it every week and it's the perfect 3 point (minus the chocolate chips from the recipe) snack or dessert!
Drizzle
So glad you enjoy it Raquel 🙂

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?
Drizzle
Hi Molli, yeah possibly the banana, or maybe your bananas were very small? either way I am glad you both enjoyed it
Shannon
I am thinking mini muffins. Only because I will eat the full loaf at least I can freeze the muffins.
Drizzle
Sounds like a good plan 🙂 You can freeze the loaf in single servings as well
Jane Cunningham
Is it a 1 pound or a 2 pound loaf tin that you used? ?
Drizzle
I use a standard 9x5 loaf pan
Jen K.
Can I substitute with GF flour?
Drizzle
Hi Jen, I am not familiar with baking with GF flour so all I can say is give it a try
