Biz
Who doesn't love tiny food?!  These mini loaves are 8 smart points each, but half is plenty for breakfast with a hard boiled egg and some fruit.

Servings 16

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bananas very ripe
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup Splenda no calorie sweetener
  • 1/3 cup egg whites
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, poppy seeds and salt together and set aside.
    In a large bowl, add the bananas, apple sauce, butter, brown sugar, Splenda, egg whites and with a hand mixer, mix until creamy.  There will be chunks of banana, that's okay!
    Bake in a mini loaf pan - I used a 1/2 cup of batter in each loaf pan.  Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
    Let cool slightly before using.

Notes

If you don't have super ripe bananas, just slice a banana through the skin and microwave for 45 seconds, and proceed with the recipe.  It will be easier to combine in the batter when the bananas are softened.
