I just love a good banana chocolate chip loaf, I already have one that I made way back when I first started this blog so I wanted to create a new one. I ordered some Lily’s dark chocolate chips and was really impressed with the taste of them and the fact they did not upset my stomach (something I deal with when trying sugar-free products) check your local Whole Foods store if you have trouble finding them, I ordered from this Canadian website that carries a lot of hard to find products. This dark chocolate chip banana loaf was delicious and only 4 smart points per serving on WW freestyle.

Are the Lily’s chips less points+ than regular mini chips?
Hi Nicole, yes they are
WOW!! This is delicious. My 18 year old son loves Banana Bread and thought this was out of this world. I didn’t have any chocolate morsels and it was still delicious. A definite keeper!
Hi Denise, that is awesome to hear 🙂 so glad you both enjoyed it
Just took this out the oven. Took a little longer in my oven. Soooo moist and yummy. I used a brown sugar substitute, and it is so good. And so easy to make. Yum!!
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it Anita 🙂
But isn’t 30 grams of carbs considered a lot for one piece?
If you are following a low carb lifestyle maybe… Did you know there is approx 27g of carbs in one med-large banana? Probably don’t think much of it when eating one as a zero point food right? Depends if you are watching your carbs or not, but between the bananas, flour and sugar it adds up
