Almond Flour Banana Bread (low Carb, Dairy Free)
I first published this recipe in June 2019. It is one of the most popular recipes on my website to this day and has tons of 5-star reviews.
I have just updated the post with more details and helpful tips. The recipe itself has not changed - in my opinion, it is perfect. I make this easy bread so often that I know all the ingredient amounts by heart!
There are lots of people who will tell you that bananas are not allowed on a low-carb diet. Here's what I think: Yes, a banana
Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe (with Almond Flour)
Bananas have a very intense flavour. This keto banana bread recipe contains ½ cup of mashed banana in total. That is ⅛ of a large banana (I'd say that is about one bite) per slice.
Most keto-friendly 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 authentic banana flavor with an extract, not to mention the wonderful moist texture of real banana bread.
Quick note - I'm calling this recipe sugar-free because I'm using sweetener 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 of table sugar.
Low Carb Keto Banana Bread Recipe (almond Flour)
Eggs - I use large eggs in all my recipes. They should be at room temperature. This helps the bread to rise better.
Banana - It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to use an overripe banana. It should have lingered in your fruit basket forever and have brown specks on the skin.
Almond Flour - I used ground almonds. This is equivalent to regular blanched almond flour in the US. Almond meal (almonds ground up including skins) also works well and gives a more rustic texture. If you're using super fine almond flour, I recommend reducing the amount to 1 ¼ cups as it is more absorbent.

Granulated sweetener - I make this bread with a monk fruit sweetener blend or allulose. Allulose gives it an extra soft texture. You can use white or golden erythritol. A brown sugar alternative adds a lovely caramel flavor.
It is really simple to make keto banana bread. Here are the basic steps. Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions.
I used a small 7.5 x 3-inch loaf tin (1 lb volume) for this recipe. It is a perfect size because this banana bread is nutrient-dense, filling and servings need to be smaller. If you use a loaf pan like this, your bread will be taller than wide.
Keto Low Carb Almond Bread
Set out a large mixing bowl and your electric mixer. Gather all ingredients. Melt the butter and mash the banana with a fork on a plate.
Put the eggs, mashed banana and melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Blend until smooth and frothy with an electric mixer.
Stir together the dry ingredients - almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon and baking powder - in a separate bowl. Then add them to the egg mixture...
Keto Banana Bread (low Carb, No Sugar Added)
Fill the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Bake in the oven for around 40 minutes or until the top is golden. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted comes out without crumbs sticking.
After 10 minutes in the pan, let it cool fully on a wire rack to prevent the bottom from going soggy. Don't slice the bread until it is cold - it is fragile when hot and firms up as it cools.
Check after 30 minutes to see if the banana bread is browned already. If so, cover it 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 also add sugar free chocolate chips. 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.
To make this banana bread egg-free, sub with flax eggs: mix three tablespoons of ground flaxseed and nine tablespoons of water and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes so the flax can absorb the liquid. Then add to the batter.
Yes. If you only have a full-size bread pan, simply double the recipe. In this case, increase the baking time to about 1 hour. Be sure to insert a knife to test if 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.
Coconut Flour Banana Bread (paleo, Gluten Free, Keto)
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. Or, just make my coconut flour banana bread which is written specifically for coconut flour.
Simply prepare a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line it with paper cups. Prepare the batter as per the recipe - remember, the most important thing is to use a ripe banana - and fill it into the prepared baking dish.
Sometimes we spread it with butter. Almond butter or peanut butter would also work well. For a treat, you could even top it with sugar free nutella.
Sugar Free Low Carb Banana Bread
I tend to keep the bread in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days. Then I store it in the fridge. It stays fresh for about one week.
You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. I do this with all my almond flour cakes and muffin recipes. I slice the bread before freezing it and put wax paper in between the slices so that they do not stick together. That way, I can simply take out one slice when I feel like a treat.
