Here’s a simple and light recipe for a Weight Watchers Banana Soufflé that’s delicious and lower in calories:
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier version)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a soufflé dish (or any oven-safe dish) with cooking spray.
- Mash the bananas: In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. You can leave a few small chunks for texture if you like.
- Separate the eggs: Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg whites in a separate, clean bowl.
- Prepare the egg yolk mixture: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mashed bananas, skim milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is combined well.
- Whisk the egg whites: Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes with a hand mixer or a bit longer by hand.
- Fold the egg whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the banana mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. Fold until just combined.
- Pour into the dish: Pour the soufflé batter into the prepared soufflé dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed up and golden brown on top. Don’t open the oven door during baking, as it can cause the soufflé to collapse.
- Serve immediately: The soufflé will deflate slightly as it cools, so serve it right out of the oven for the best presentation.
Weight Watchers Points:
- This recipe is very low in points. It depends on your WW plan, but generally, it should be 2-4 points per serving, depending on the specifics of your plan and portion size.
Enjoy your light and fluffy banana soufflé as a sweet treat or dessert!
