Banana Bread Recipe Slimming World

Growing up I was never much of a fan of cake, I even used to opt for a Baked Alaska instead of birthday cake every year, but there was always one kind of cake that I totally adored… banana bread! Nowadays I enjoy most cakes but banana bread still has a special place in my heart, especially as it was the first cake I ever remember making on my own. However, when you’re trying to be healthy and stick to the Slimming World plan, banana bread can seem like a million miles away! That’s why I’ve come up with this Best Ever Low Syn Banana Bread recipe, to keep syns low whilst keeping hold of everything that I love most about banana bread.

When I first started Slimming World, what feels like a million years ago now, I tried out a lot of the traditional Slimming World cake recipes. Most of these seemed to consist 90% of whisked egg white and very little flavour, and frankly, I was never a fan. For me, if you’re going to bother using some of your syns on a tasty cake, it really should be cake! Whisked egg whites have their place in baking, but a real cake needs more ingredients to make it worth eating!

This Low Syn Banana Bread is, therefore, not one a recipe that includes 12 eggs and nothing else, it’s a proper bake which has been carefully balanced to create a low syn option to enjoy totally on plan. It’s perfect with a cup of tea with friends, or even to enjoy as a quick on the go breakfast! I like to spread a little bit of strawberry jam on mine if I’m on the go for an extra sweet boost, but it’s really up to you! It’s a delicious recipe all on its own, with a super moist texture, that doesn’t compromise on texture, flavour or quality and won’t hurt your waistline when eaten in moderation.

Low Syn Buckwheat Banana Bread

As I’ve said, this is a recipe that can fit perfectly into your Slimming World plan. For just 2.5 syns per slice, you can enjoy this Low Syn Banana Bread without feeling guilty at all. It’s proof that Slimming World baking doesn’t have to be boring, and that baking, in general, doesn’t have to be unhealthy! The syn breakdown for this recipe is as follows:

140g Self Raising Flour = 22.5 syns 1/2tsp Baking Soda = 1/2 syn 2x Ripe Mashed Bananas (roughly 200g) = 8 syns 28g Dried Raisins = 4 syns 2tbsp Sukrin 1 Sweetener = 1 syn

To save you doing the maths, that equals 36 syns in total for the whole loaf. I got 15 slices out of this Low Syn Banana Bread when using a 30cm Loaf Tin (like these ones) to bake it. 36 divided by 15 works out at 2.4 syns per slice, which you would round up to 2.5 syns per slice to be on the safe side with your syn count. If you ask me, a tiny 2.5 syns for a slice of cake is not half bad! Of course, if you decide to cut thicker slices and get fewer from the loaf as a whole, make sure to adjust your calculations by dividing 36 by however many slices you have cut.

I’ve used Sukrin:1 Sweetener in this recipe. It’s my favourite granulated sweetener as it can be substituted 1:1 when replacing regular sugar. This means you don’t have to adjust your recipes and try and guess how much sweetener to use. If you are using other powdered sweeteners you will need to adjust the recipe accordingly as they can be much sweeter than normal sugar and you may need to use less.

I love seeing when people make my recipes! So if you do whip up a batch of this Low Syn Banana Bread you can email it to me or share it on Facebook and Instagram tagging @ on Facebook or @_sw on Instagram! You can also share it in my Facebook group too, you can join here if you haven’t already.

I really hope you love this Low Syn Banana Bread recipe as much as I do. It’s really simple and quick to make and really hits the spot when you’re craving a cake fix. My favourite thing about creating healthy bakes like this is that they give you the freedom to have fun in the kitchen without worrying about the impact it might be having on your health. A recipe like this is the perfect marriage between healthy and happy, so I look forward to seeing yours!

Vegan Banana Bread (easy + Healthy)

Please check your inbox for a message from us and click on the verification link so we can keep you up to date with our latest menus, recipes and offers.So tonight I fancied cake and the overripe banana's sitting in my fruit bowl were just screaming banana cake to me. They were literally taunting me all day long, honest.

I am not a fan of eating over ripe bananas raw, I actually prefer them a little green on the outside still, and so not wanting to waste anything, it really just had to be a low syn mini banana raisin loaf.

I must admit this was a bit of a recipe development and test, so it could of ended disastrously and they may of just been fit for the bin.

Nutty Banana Bread

I hovered near the oven with the oven light on the whole time watching them patiently as they cooked and started to rise and was feeling rather hungry from the delicious aroma of banana breadthat was filling my kitchen.

Sugar

I had saved the remainder of my syns for the day, just so I could test these bad boys out when they came out of the oven. So I really wanted these to work.

And oh boy did they work, perfect low syn mini banana raisin loaves, the slices of banana almost caramelized from the little bit of sukrin gold I added to the top and the super moist and proper cake on the inside was just divine.

Ingredient Healthy Banana Oatmeal Bread (no Flour, Refined Sugar Or Butter)

One thing I hate is to waste syns on a cake that resembles a sweet omelette. If I am going to use my syns, it has to be on something good and so if I want cake, it has to taste like cake and these really were amazing!!!

I use a mini silicone loaf pans which are 5.5 inches by 3inches, but if you don't have mini loaf tray in this size, feel free to use just muffin cases and instead of slicing the banana lengthways, you can add little rounds to the top, would be great for Slimming Worldgroup tasters

For the sugar, I used Sukrin1 and then for
