Weight Watchers Cranberry Orange Bread Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and Splenda. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
WW Points and other Slimming or Weight Loss programs:
Due to plans regularly changing and updating, we recommend calculating with the official tools you get as a member to those plans to ensure accuracy of values.
WW Points
The total points for the recipe depend on the specific Weight Watchers plan you are following. Here are the approximate points for the entire loaf:
- Total points (for the entire loaf): 32 points (Green, Blue, Purple plans)
- Points per slice (assuming 12 slices): 3 points per slice
By using a sugar substitute and reducing the amount of sugar and cranberries, this version aims to lower the points while still being tasty. You might want to double-check the points using the specific ingredients and brands you use with the Weight Watchers app or calculator.
I await your comments! Enjoy!
