I had ripe banana’s, and in my house they are never wasted.. There is always another loaf to create, and this cinnamon sugar topped blueberry banana loaf is so good.. I came up with it in all of 2 minutes as I had little time to whip something up and get it in the oven, sometimes that’s when I create the best recipes.. and guess what.. this tasty loaf is only 2 smart points per slice..now that’s a win win 🙂

I am so happy I came across your blog! I made this cake tonight and I LOVE IT! It’s going to save me on the harder days! I didn’t have applesauce in the house and used an extra banana and it still came out great. Can’t wait to try with applesauce next time!
Hi Heather, so glad you found me too.. I loved this bread and it is so point friendly!! Good luck on your journey 🙂
It’s my 3 week into WW s and I’m excited to do it with hints and recipes, I think I can do this, you can still eat well, thanks
Hi Sue, you sure can do this!! I hope you can find some recipes on here that you like, good luck on your journey!
Love this! I have been missing loafs and this one hit the spot. The kids loved it too!
Hi Sharon, so glad you all enjoyed it 🙂
I LOVE THIS!!!! It’s so yummy and it really hits the spot! I miss breads and muffins, and your recipes have been an awesome substitute. thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the loaf Valerie 🙂
Have you tried this in muffin form? I am wondering if the size (keeping 10 servings) would come out to a regular sized muffin, kind of like your greek yogurt pumpkin mufffins are!
Hi Susie, I have not but I am sure they would be close to a reg muffin 🙂
Hi, was wondering if we substitute either protein powder or Kodiac cakes for flour in your recipes to add more protein.
I found this recipe through Connect! And I am sa glad I did! I am so thankful you cook & bake with regular ingredients, no fancy diet/health/protein powders and such! We love this & it will be a staple in my home now! Thanks!
Hi Krystal, so glad you found it and enjoy it, yup no weird stuff in this house lol 😉
This looks amazing. I was wondering if fresh blueberries would work just as well? Also have you subbed white whole wheat flour in your recipes? Wondering if it effects taste/texture much?
Hi Samantha, you can use fresh blueberries I just like using the frozen wild blueberries as they are nice and small, no I have never used whole wheat flour sorry.. I would think there would not be a huge difference

This is in my oven RIGHT NOW! The Nutella banana muffins are next! Bagels are after that. I’m so thankful for your blog! You keep it real and everything is SO EASY to make! We made the open chicken pot pie last week: MASSIVE SUCCESS!
Hi Kristin, yay I am so glad you are enjoying everything, thank you for your kind words they truly do mean a lot 🙂
This is amazing!! So easy to make, and it tastes delicious. My family is obsessed with it; Today is my 5th time making it! Thank you!
Hi Sarah, that is awesome, so glad the whole family loves it, win win right 🙂
Can you substitute one egg white for the liquid egg white?
Yes I think that would work ok 🙂
I am SO making this tomorrow morning. I don’t have liquid whites. How many egg whites should I use?
I usually say 2 egg whites (1/4 cup) will be equivalent to one egg .. I hope you enjoy it
Currently baking in the oven!
Hope you enjoy them 🙂
I think next time I make it I will add some salt! Otherwise delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
