Bake this moist, naturally sweetened banana bread using only ripe bananas for sweetness. It is a healthy, guilt-free loaf perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit blend)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low carb)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork.
  3. Stir the applesauce, sugar substitute, eggs, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  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 carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a low carb or keto version, substitute the all-purpose flour with 1 3/4 cups of fine almond flour.
  • If your bananas are not very ripe, you may need to add 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a few drops of liquid stevia to boost sweetness.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
