    Im getting very confused about the differences between points plus and the old system.  How do I figure out how many pro points this is?

  • Ddpeaches7

    I made it & wow was it very good. I definitely will be happy to make it again .

  • crucatmom

    How many slices/servings are in a typical loaf of homemade bread, a pie, 9×13 cake pan, etc. This is where I have trouble using the Weight Watchers Recipe Builder tool. I’m never sure how much is considered a “serving” so I don’t know how many total servings are in the recipes I make. Is there anywhere I can find this information on the Weight Watchers sight? I’ve googled and found some information.

    Laaloosh! You done it again! genius! :3

  • klmiller1991

    You must have done it wrong, because mine turned out AMAZING! This bread is meant to be sweet is it not?

  • Sharon

    how many Points+ does it have?

  • Kristina

    I made this recipe a while back and found the texture way too chewy, borderline inedible. It seemed as if the oats did not cook at all. I wonder if substituting the old fashioned oats for quick cooking oats will help. That is what I am going to try soon. Will let you know how that goes.

    I'm not sure on the exact calorie count, as this recipe was passed along to me and only had the Weight Watchers Points. :(

  • Kyla

    oh no, I didn't proof read. It should say… that doesn't care about Weight Watchers points.

  • Kyla

    I make this bread all the time and love it! It always comes out just perfect. I adjust the recipe to use splenda brown sugar blend in place of the regular brown sugar and use egg beaters instead of the egg whites and full egg ( I use a 1/2 cup which is 2 egg equivalent). I also use vanilla instead of the allspice. If I am not making it for a audience that cares about the Weight Watchers points, I also add a 1/2 bag of chocolate chips! (However, be careful they can make it gooey!)

  • Jenny

    i made it and it was delicious!!

    how many calories is it exactly though……?

    I have to admit that I stumbled onto this recipe and didn' read it as carefully as I should have. I generally use a family recipe that was pretty good; although I wanted to find something different and a bit on the "heavier" side, which the oatmeal would normally do. I followed the recipe precisely and the cooking time as well. The end result, awful. I don't know how this can be made edible at this point. The oatmeal didn't fully cook and it left lumps of oatmeal in it. I should go back to the food network.

    I love your recipes laaloosh! You are making my Weight Watchers experience wonderful. Your recipes keep me excited, and they are easy to make. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep up the good work. I have 3 very over ripe bananas that are just standing over there waiting for this….

  • silke

  • Bernie Taylor

    Just baked this and made the following changes:

    1/3 cup liquid egg whites for eggs

    3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce for canola oil

    1/2 tsp cinnamon

    1/2 cup oatmeal

    Bread is delicious and moist. Thanks for another great recipe.

  • kathrine

    I also made the bread and used a little cinnamon, nutmeg and groud cloves in place of the allspice becasue I too did not have allspice in the cabinet. I also substituted the oil with applesauce and it was delicious the entire family enjoyed it and it was most definetly not to sweet nor did it lack texture. Great recipe and I recommend you try it.

  • Carol Hopkins

    Found this recipe to be too sweeet, nutritionally inadequate, and the texture unacceptable. If this typifies WW recipes I understand how people lose weight…the food is too unappetizing to eat!

  • Margaret

    I made this bread and not only did I enjoy it but so did my family. Great recipe with great flavor. I did have to subsitute cinnamon for allspice due to not being able to find allspice in cabinet. I made the loaf and had for breakfast as well as a snack.
