I am pretty much obsessed with any type of bread – I totally adore this carbtastic treat. And being a weight watcher, I had to just accept this fact and do my best to create weight watchers recipes that involved bread and were still low in points. And when I tried this Baked Croutons Recipe, I was absolutely thrilled!! I have always loved croutons and really feel that they make a salad so much more yummy and satisfying. But store bought croutons aren’t always weight watcher friendly. So, using some low calorie bread, I decided to make my own. And I must say, they turned out SO good, I will never go back to regular croutons again! This homemade croutons recipe is not only amazingly delicious, but it’s full of fiber and has just a 1 Point Total per serving!! Truly the perfect salad topping. If you are a carb lover – this recipe is a MUST try.
