This low carb keto banana bread recipe is one of my favorite keto recipes to share with family and friends… and then you can tell them AFTER that it’s actually a sugar free banana bread! No one can ever tell the difference, thanks to a mix of low carb flours, a high-quality natural sugar substitute, and an easy swap for the bananas. Simply mix up the almond flour banana bread batter, bake it, and then let it cool (truly, the hardest part!).
Enjoy with a bulletproof coffee or keto Starbucks drink for the ultimate morning meal. And if you like keto banana recipes but prefer a more portable version, try keto banana muffins instead.
This keto friendly banana bread uses a blend of premium low carb flours to get the right density and moistness in your loaf, like the real thing. Sometimes you really need to use a blend of flours to get that “just right” texture, and this is one of those times. The wet/dry ingredient ratio is important here because that’s what ensure the right texture. Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour and Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour are both super finely milled and create the perfect consistency.
Moist Banana Bread
And, we’re using Besti sweetener for this bread, because not only does it taste just like sugar (without sugar alcohols!), it also helps to seal in moisture so your bread won’t be dry. Other sweeteners won’t do that!
Traditional banana bread is not suitable for keto, as it’s made with white flour, sugar, and bananas. This low carb banana nut bread recipe

We’d LOVE for you to share a link with photo instead. 🙂Moist and super simple to make: this keto banana bread is perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. It is gluten free, grain free and only 4.4g net carbs per slice. A low carb banana bread that's a hit with the whole family, low carb or not!
There's lots of people around who will tell you bananas are not allowed when you're eating low carb. Here's what I think: A banana is high in sugar and carbs. But if you're choosing your recipe wisely, you can enjoy all the banana taste without actually letting your blood sugar rocket sky-high.
Most low carb banana bread recipes use banana extract instead of a real banana. This obviously keeps the carb count really low. But I think you'll never get close to the taste of a proper banana flavor with extracts, not to mention the wonderful moist texture of real banana bread.
Oat Flour Banana Bread
Bananas have a very intense flavour. ½ a cup of mashed banana - that's one large banana or 2 small ones - is enough to create a bread that's low in carbs and low in sugars. This keto banana bread recipe contains ⅛ of a banana (I'd say that is about 1 bite) and 4.4 grams of net carbs per slice.
Quick note - I'm calling this recipe sugar free banana bread because I'm using erythritol instead of added sugar, honey or maple syrup. It comes in at 2.7 grams of (natural) sugars per slice, which is equivalent to just over ½ teaspoon.
1.) Put the eggs, mashed banana and melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Blend until smooth and frothy with an electric mixer.

TIP: It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to use an overripe banana in this recipe. It should have lingered in your fruit basket forever and have brown specks on the skin.
2.) Stir together the dry ingredients - almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon and baking powder - in a separate bowl. Then add to the egg mix.
I used a golden erythritol monk fruit sweetener in the images, which is a brown sugar replacement. But any granulated sweetener will work, from Splenda to stevia.

5.) Fill into a bread tin lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 40 minutes. It's done if a toothpick inserted comes out without crumbs sticking. Cool on a wire rack.
Tip: Check after 30 minutes to see if the banana bread is browned already. If so, cover loosely with aluminium foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent burning. (I covered my bread at minute 35 and found that it was browned a little much for my liking.)
Instead of nuts, you could add sugar free chocolate chips instead. It's easy to make your own. Alternatively, use chopped dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 85 % or a brand like Lily's.
Banana Bread Recipe
I used a small 7.5 x 3 inch loaf tin (1 lb volume) for this recipe. It's the perfect size for low carb bread because it's nutrient dense and filling and servings need to be smaller. If you use a loaf pan like this, your bread will be taller than wide.
If you only have a full size bread pan, you can double the recipe. In this case, increase the baking time to about 1 hour. Be sure to insert a knife to test the inside is baked (if it comes out with dough sticking to it keep your bread in a bit longer). Again, cover the top loosely with aluminium foil once the top is browned to prevent burning.
I used ground almonds in this recipe. This is equivalent to regular blanched almond flour in the US. Almond meal (essentially almonds ground up including skins) would also work well and give a more rustic texture.
Coconut Flour Banana Bread (paleo, Gluten Free, Keto)
If you're using super fine almond flour, I recommend to reduce the amount to 1 ¼ cup as it is more absorbent.
I have not tried this myself, but it should be possible to replace the almond flour with ½ cup of coconut flour. In this case, you may also want to add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum.
To make this banana bread egg free, sub with flax eggs: mix 3 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 9 tablespoon of water, let sit for 10 minutes so the flax can absorb the liquid. Then add to the batter.
Low Carb Banana Bread
Simply prepare a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line it with paper cups. Prepare the batter as per recipe - remember, the most important thing is to use a ripe banana - and fill into the prepared baking dish.
I tend to keep the bread in a cake tin on the counter for a couple of days. Then I store it in the fridge. It stays fresh for about 1 week.
You can also freeze it! I do this with all my almond flour cake recipes. I slice the bread before freezing. That way, I can simply take out one slice when I feel like a treat.
