If you are not a fan of whole wheat flour or molasses, this probably isn't the best bread for you, since the whole wheat flavor really comes through. To keep the Points lower per slice, I decreased the butter by 1 tablespoon and flour by 1/4 cup, which didn't seem to change the flavor or texture as far as I could tell. If you prefer, you could always turn this low fat whole wheat quick bread recipe into muffins. Just divide the batter evenly amongst the cups of a standard muffin tin and bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
