So I calculated this recipe on the WW apo and it's actually 11 points per serving. -

Mmmmmm. Lainey you have another winner. I used 95% fat free cream cheese, all egg white (no yolk) and Splenda granulated. Made half the recipe in 4 mini loaves. You really couldn't ask for better taste from a very diabetic friendly creation. It was served with a berry compote. Really wonderful. -
I followed this recipe exactly and separated the batter into 4 mini loaf pans as other reviewers. The cooking time (in my oven) was 47 minutes to perfectly done. Will keep this recipe in my rotation. Thank you for a simple and delicious recipe. -
How do get the first six steps (prep, I imagine) done in 10 minutes? -
Just made this tonight. EXCELLENT! It does have a strong almond extract flavor to me, but I also like that.

This is AMAZING!!! I cut the recipe in half to make 2 mini loaves (baked for 25 min). I used 2 egg whites, not three but cut everything else in half. It was so very good and I especially loved the almond extract flavor. I made some chocolate frosting to go on top. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
