It’s been awhile since I baked up a new loaf recipe, even in the summer months I still enjoy a freshly baked loaf out of the oven. I especially love one weekend mornings with a cup of tea 🙂 I had some fresh strawberries in the fridge to use up so say hello to this delicious strawberry banana chocolate chip loaf, just 4 smart points per serving on WW freestyle.

How much flour??? It’s not listed
Oops missed it sorry
No worries 🙂
Would it be ok with just 2 bananas?
You might want to add in some extra applesauce to make up for the loss of wet ingredients
Made it was very yummy, thanks for all you do for us.
So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
❤ I made this today in 40 degree weather LOL substituting regular flour for gluten free flour and it was FABULOUS!
Love your recipes ???
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it Janis, and thanks for letting others know that GF flour worked out good, stay cool 🙂
I came to the comments section to see if anyone had tried making this GF. thanks for sharing!
Is the pan you used 9”? I have an 8 and a 9 and I’m not sure which a regular one would be. Thanks.
standard loaf pan is 9×5 hope that helps 🙂
Like this today is so good. Thanks for sharing all of your recipes with all of us on our weight loss Journey

Delicious and by the way raspberries work great plus they’re in season right now! Thank you for this recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the tip, I love raspberries 🙂
Hi, many of your recipes list mini chocolate chips. I’m not sure if you mean semi sweet or milk chocolate? I can’t find mini milk morsels in the supermarket but I’ll look online if that’s what I should be using. Thanks, Susan
Hi Susan, I use Hershey’s mini chocolate chips, they are semi-sweet
Do you store it in the fridge after you bake it if you don’t want it frozen? Or you can leave it out in a tight container?
always store in the fridge as the ingredients used will not allow it to sit out, no preservatives, after 2 days I will freeze
Followed the recipe exactly as written – it smelled wonderful while baking – and is moist and delicious! Thank you for a great recipe!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This is just what I had a taste for. I have crave chocolate the last soulless days and had a couple bananas that we’re getting over ripe, then we went strawberry picking this am. Can’t wait to taste it. (Oh, I am also doing WW, down 32 pounds so far.
Hi Nancy, way to go on the weight loss, that is fantastic!! I hope you enjoy the loaf 🙂
I made this and was delish! Great recipe
But I entered the ingredients into the recipe builder and it was only 2 points? Should I still count as 4?
I am so glad you enjoyed the loaf, sometimes products vary, if you entered exactly what you used and got 2 I’d go with that 🙂
