Print Recipe

A tender, flavorful, and moist sugar-free banana bread made with almond flour, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240 g) almond flour
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated erythritol or other sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) melted coconut oil (or melted butter/olive oil)
  • ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remain, about 1 ½ cups mashed.
  3. Whisk the wet ingredients: add eggs, melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Beat together until combined and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients: in a large bowl, sift almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and erythritol together.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  7. Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally sprinkle extra nuts or cinnamon on top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If bread browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Do not cut bread before it cools completely to avoid crumbliness. Measure almond flour by weight for best consistency. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. For vegan option, substitute eggs with flax eggs and coconut oil with vegan butter.
