Make this easy, moist sugar free banana bread using only the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. It is a healthy breakfast loaf perfect for everyday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or almond flour for keto option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until you just combine the batter. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in any optional nuts or mix-ins now.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a keto banana bread sugar free version, substitute the whole wheat flour with 1 3/4 cups of fine almond flour and add 1/4 cup of erythritol or monk fruit sweetener if you prefer extra sweetness.
  • Using very ripe, spotty bananas provides the most natural sweetness, reducing the need for any added sweeteners.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to relying on meal planning services for quick, healthy snacks.
