My kids love bananas, so whenever we have a surplus of bananas that are all ripening at the same time, this Healthy Banana Bread recipe is my go-to. I’m obsessed with it, my husband is obsessed with it, and my kids are obsessed with it. It’s just SO. GOOD. I know you’ll love it, too!
Banana bread can be made healthy with fresh bananas, eggs, coconut oil instead of butter, and maple syrup instead of refined sugar. These are all wholesome ingredients! You can also use gluten-free flour or whole wheat flour and rolled oats to add even more nutrition to your loaf. With these easy swaps, banana bread can most definitely be a healthy and nutritious treat!
Ripe Bananas – Use very ripe bananas for this recipe! Regular bananas work too, but they may be a bit tougher to mash or blend (and aren’t as sweet).
Lower Fat, Reduced Sugar Banana Bread
Rolled Oats – A little bit of rolled oats (or old-fashioned oats) help add texture to the loaf slices. Feel free to use chopped walnuts or any mix-in of choice instead!
Maple Syrup – A little bit of maple syrup sweetens this bread recipe. Feel free to add a little bit of brown sugar (about 2 Tablespoons) if you are looking to make a sweeter loaf!
The oat sugar streusel on top adds a little bit of sweetness and texture that really brings this banana bread together! Made from rolled oats, melted coconut oil, and brown sugar, it’s optional but definitely so delicious.
Oatmeal Banana Bread

On it’s own, the level of sweetness for this Healthy Banana Bread recipe is mild to moderate, depending on what you’re used to. However, the optional oat and brown sugar streusel on top that’s included in this recipe definitely add more sweetness!
Low Fat Banana Bread
If you’re looking for a more sweet recipe, be sure to add that streusel on top. You can also (or alternatively) add 2 Tablespoons of raw sugar or brown sugar to the batter!
Banana bread can be kept at room temperature for 2-3 days and in refrigerator for 5-7 days! It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
To freeze, let the bread cool completely and slice. Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, then place individual serving sizes in airtight containers. Store in the freezer!

While I’ve certainly baked my share of different banana breads (Pumpkin Banana Bread, Zucchini Banana Bread, and Paleo Banana Bread, Banana Oatmeal Muffins are but a few) when I’m craving a simple, classic banana bread recipe, this one is my go-to.

Of course, if you feel the urge to turn it into a healthy chocolate banana bread with chocolate chips, or go the banana nut route with walnuts, I certainly won’t stop you.
5 Star Review “This was THE best banana bread I’ve ever made! Definitely a redo in our household. Thank you for this amazing recipe!” — Nat —
This healthy banana bread recipe is good for you and made with nutritious ingredients, but it doesn’t sacrifice the pure comfort you long for when you reach for a slice.
Easy Coconut Flour Banana Bread Recipe
You can enjoy it for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or try warm it in a toaster oven, then top with a scoop of Banana Ice Cream for dessert.
You can swap the maple syrup in this banana bread for the same amount of honey. The honey will make the bread look darker, since it caramelizes more intensely as it cooks, but the bread will taste delicious.
Banana bread can be undercooked easily, and unfortunately, once the loaf has cooled, even if it is gooey in the middle you cannot put it back into the oven.
Ultra Moist Healthy Banana Bread (made With Olive Oil)
Cut your leftover bread into slices and individually wrap in plastic wrap before freezing. Then, you can thaw and enjoy slices as desired for a quick treat.
No, almond flour cannot be swapped for regular flour, as the two have completely different weights, fat contents, and baking behaviors. Check out my tasty Almond Flour Banana Bread instead.
While some banana breads are high in sugar and fat (why banana bread is so high in calories), this healthy banana bread is good for you. It’s packed with nutritious ingredients like whole wheat flour, egg, Greek yogurt, and bananas. Plus, this recipe proves you can use less sugar in banana bread by swapping in some maple syrup.
Skinny Banana Bread Or Muffins
While we love this as a healthy banana bread with whole wheat flour, it will work just as well with all-purpose flour. Simply swap the whole wheat flour for an equal amount of all-purpose flour, or do a 50/50 blend.
This easy, healthy banana bread is the best! Moist, fluffy, and ultra delicious. Made with yogurt and whole wheat. So yummy and good for you!
