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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 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 ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

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 butter or oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until the flour streaks disappear. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a low carb or keto banana bread alternative, substitute the whole wheat flour with 2 cups of almond flour and add 1/4 cup of a sugar substitute like erythritol or monk fruit blend.
  • If your bananas are not very ripe, you can add 1/4 cup of a sugar-free sweetener of your choice.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
  • This recipe is naturally sweetened and diabetic friendly when using low-carb flour substitutes.
