SKINNY Oatmeal Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting🍌🎂 WW Friendly Cake Recipe (Weight Watchers)

[@1946pepper]

Swerve brown sugar alternative instead of Brown sugar

[@AliciaLynnYT]

You could absolutely use a sugar substitute and that would cut the points down more! There are a lot of them out there in granulated, brown and powdered forms. I'm personally not the biggest fan of them when it comes to using them in baked goods though, I don't really like the taste and I've tried a lot of different kinds. I try and get away with just using less regular sugar if possible and in this case, the bananas acting as a natural sweetener allowed me to use less maple syrup, keeping the points still low enough. That being said, I do use them and sugar free products at times to keep those points down!

Alicia, this looks fabulous. Mike, Kelly & I love banana bread. We’ve got a Bob Evans close to us, so sometimes we will go there & pick up a loaf of banana bread when we’re short on time & want a quick breakfast or snack. Do you like your banana bread with or without nuts. My preference is nuts. It’s so good! I like it in fudge too. My younger sisters like fudge without nuts. Laurie says it takes up room for more chocolate!!

Oh yeah! you can't go wrong with anything that has cream cheese frosting. Looks delicious, Alicia.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Kory! Yes, Cream cheese frosting is kind of like bacon, you can't go wrong with it! 😄 Thanks for watching, my friend!

Alicia, we love anything banana in our house!! Banana bread, banana pudding...This recipe looks really delicious, definitely a comfort food & at 6 points that's awesome!! Thanks for the recipe, I will be trying it soon!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Lynn! We love anything banana in this house too. They are great natural sweeteners and helped to keep the points down in these. I love anything with cream cheese frosting so I had to add that to these or else the points would have been even lower! 😋 Thanks for watching, I hope you are having a good week! 💛

I love any banana dessert and this one was yummy😋 Thanks for watching, Roxy!

[@cherylhernandez5525]

This is in the oven right now. And like you, I have been eating raw batters for years. I tasted the batter and so so yum! Can't wait to try it baked with the frosting. Thanks! Love your channel

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Cheryl, I hope you enjoy it! Part of the fun is eating the raw batter, I have done it since I was a kid!😋 Thank you so much!💛

[@CulinaryUndertaking]

That is a cool option when I don't feel like banana bread. Plus it has frosting and I can never have too much of that 😃

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi TJ, this was really good and you can never go wrong with cream cheese frosting! 😋 Thanks for watching!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Maple syrup in banana cake has to be amazing. We love it in our banana oatmeal pancakes. We really like the idea of yogurt for the frosting. We were wondering how you would put it together. Looks really good.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

The maple syrup turned out working really well in this, I will have to use it in more things! Thanks for watching!💛

[@ldcashmerebrown13]

I used swerve brown sugar instead of maple syrup and swerve confectionery sugar instead of regular confectionery sugar Delicious Thank you

[@AliciaLynnYT]

So glad you liked it!! Thanks for letting me know😊

Hi That looks so yummy, thanks!

Thank you, Barb!💛

Awesome! Will be making this, thank you :-)

[@AliciaLynnYT]

You're welcome, I hope you enjoy! 😊

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Alicia! This oatmeal banana cake looks amazing! This was the perfect recipe for using up overripe bananas when you want to do something different. I think that maple syrup would be great in this. Don't worry, I sample raw batter, too, haha! I would not have thought about using less cream cheese and instead adding some Greek yogurt. Very good idea! I would definitely give this one a try. I am not surprised that your husband liked it. Thanks for another great recipe!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi, Parnell! This was really good but then it is hard to not be with cream cheese frosting! Lol The maple syrup worked really well in this, I will have to try it out in other recipes. Good to know we aren't the only ones sampling the raw batter! You know me, I'm putting that Greek yogurt in everything, even cream cheese frosting! I think I actually got that idea from a WW cinnamon roll recipe I did and they used Greek yogurt in the icing. I figured why not in cream cheese frosting too! Thanks for watching, my friend!

Thank you for a nice recipe. I will be subbing in avocado for the coconut oil and date syrup for the sugar and maybe will add a bit of coconut flakes bc I love them.... should be interesting!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I have thought of adding coconut myself, I think it would be good! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy it!

So many interesting flavors going into this recipe Alicia! It’s pretty irresistible to not eat any leftover batter lol. Looks like it turned out great! Hubby approved! Keep up the awesome work Alicia! Happy Tuesday 🌟🧡

This looks so good omg 😩

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Hayley! It was really good and didn't last long! Lol

[@michellescozyhome6290]

Hi, Alicia! This looks and sounds amazing. By the looks of the empty plate the hubby definitely enjoyed it.😄 I would totally try this. Great way to use up those bananas. Due to some stomach issues, I have had to cut back on dairy and wheat. I have been exchanging out dairy and using coconut milk, which has been helpful. And when I bake I have been using gluten free flour. I have found a couple of good products we have enjoyed. I can’t even til the difference. The sad part is I haven’t found a good substitute for cream cheese. I found an awesome dairy free sour cream by Kroger. But, I’m still looking for a dairy free cream cheese. 😄 It might not exist! 😄 Do you ever bake or cook with gluten free or dairy free items? I was just curious. Please don’t think I was asking you to change up your recipes. I actually have done many of your recipes with my alterations. 😊😉 And they are amazing. Recently I did your shepherds pie and I changed out the flour for paleo baking flour. That is some good stuff. Sorry this is so long. 😁 Again, I was just curious if you have ever used gluten free and dairy free items. As always your recipes are wonderful. Everything looks so delicious. Happy Tuesday. Many blessings to you my sweet friend. Have a beautiful day sweetie. Hugs! 🥰❤️❤️🌻🌻

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Good morning, Michelle! I actually had to go gluten and dairy free for a period of time when I was nursing my son because it was suspected that he had sensitivities to those things. It was really difficult for me at first because it seems like dairy or gluten are in so many things! I did end up finding a lot of good alternatives for things like flour and made my own bread so I didn't have to buy the expensive gluten free bread in stores. I used a lot of dairy subs like almond milk, dairy free butter spread, coconut milk yogurt etc. I don't believe I ever found a good cream cheese sub though unfortunately. I did find the longer I did it the easier it got to do and I actually felt better when I wasn't eating dairy or gluten. I hope eliminating them from your diet it has helped you! Thanks for watching, Hugs to you, sweet friend!🤗💛🥰

[@lisac4375]

I used milk instead of yogurt in the icing, and it turned into a runny glaze. Next time, maybe only 1T, or even less. I couldn't add more powdered sugar or it would be more points. I just used the runny glaze and gave the cake to my family. I doubt they'll care about that if there's cake involved.

[@armywife2248]

I made a HUGE mistake and put in cream cheese instead of Greek yogurt to my wet mixture. It's in the oven because i don't like to waste. I will get it right next time! :(

[@AliciaLynnYT]

How was it? I would think that would actually turn out pretty good.

[@armywife2248]

@@AliciaLynnYT The taste and moisture were spot on. I think I will use maple syrup as a sweetener when i bake from now on. I did leave it in 10 mins too long and although it was moist, it had a little spring to it, lol! I will do better next time.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Glad to hear that, Jessica! I figured that would probably work out fine.

[@terriblehooman]

Lol raw batter we all do ,

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I figure I haven't gotten sick yet in all the years I have eaten it so why stop! Lol
