Bake a moist and flavorful banana bread loaf using only the natural sweetness of very ripe bananas, with an option to use a zero-calorie sweetener for completely no added sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener blend or erythritol (optional, for zero sugar)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, melted butter or oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and optional sweetener.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the optional nuts, if using.
  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 bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and moisture, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • If you skip the optional sweetener, the bread will still be sweet from the bananas, making it suitable for low-sugar diets.
  • To make this recipe low-carb, substitute the whole wheat flour with 1 3/4 cups of blanched almond flour.
