This Easy, Healthy Sugar Free Banana Bread is the best recipe made with unsweetened applesauce along with a little oil. It is super simple to throw together using pantry staples. Serve it for breakfast or dessert!

It really will depend on how you make it. Growing up, my mom made a recipe for me that called for 5 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of pure honey. Those are loaded with fat and sugar.
The Best Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
Most recipes I see have 300+ calories and 50+ grams of carbs per slice. If you want to eat a slice of bread for breakfast or as a treat a few days a week, those macros are not very friendly.
You want to use very ripe bananas, perhaps overripe. People often make banana bread when they have bananas that are going bad.
I usually can’t find these in stores, so I have to wait sometimes up to a week for the bananas to ripen at room temperature. The bananas should have black or brown streaks in them or they should be mostly black.
Oatmeal Banana Bread Just 5 Ingredients!
If you stick your measuring cup directly into the bag, it will pack flour into the cup and result in you using too much. The flour needs to have air when measuring. Check out more tips on How to Measure Flour here.
When baking soda is combined with something acidic, it reacts, which aerates and raises baked goods much like yeast. I learned this when making my Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookies. In that recipe, combining lemon juice with baking soda, resulted in soft cookies with a puff.
Usually when baking soda is used in a recipe, it’s also used with something acidic like buttermilk, lemon juice, or applesauce (which is used in this recipe).

To substitute baking soda for baking powder you will need 4 teaspoons of baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda = 1 teaspoon of baking powder. You can read more about Baking Soda vs Baking Powder here.
I use organic monkfruit in this recipe to keep it sugar free, specifically this Monkfruit Baking Sweetener. It measures 1:1 like table sugar and works great for baking. It has zero calories, no carbs, and won’t spike your blood sugar.
Feel free to use your preferred sweetener. If you use stevia or artificial sweeteners, you will have to convert the servings. Since monkfruit measures 1:1 you can follow your standard method for calculating it.
Simply Perfect 2 Banana Banana Bread
I like the flavor of butter in my bread, but I cut the standard amount of butter typically used in half but using unsweetened applesauce.
I don’t recommend substituting all the butter outlined in this recipe for more applesauce. You will need some oil. You can substitute the 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter for coconut oil or avocado oil instead.
The bread should be fully cooled prior to freezing. Wrap the bread in foil and then place it in a sealable bag. It will freeze for up to 4 months.

Easy Peasy Banana Bread
Always on repeat in my house. Today I made them into muffins using Brandi’s instructions in the post. Looking forward to a sweat treat without all the sugar.
Awesome recipe! I used honey and spelt flour, subbed applesauce with canned pumpkin, and added walnuts. I put it in the toaster oven and found it perfect after 40 minutes. I was especially drawn to this recipe due to the banana to sweetener recipe -- more banana and less sweetener means loads of banana flavor without being overly sweet. I think splitting the difference between butter and applesauce (or pumpkin) is ingenious as well. It's great finding a banana bread recipe that tastes good (the family loved it!) and makes me feel good. Thank you!Want to make someone’s day? Bake them some banana bread! Just yesterday, I said, “I’m going to bake some banana bread, ” and watched a full-grown man’s eyes light up like a kid’s on Christmas morning.

No Sugar Added Banana Bread With Applesauce
I perfected this banana bread recipe for my cookbook and wanted to share with you here. This recipe has all the hallmarks of classic banana bread—it’s fluffy, moist, infused with sweet banana flavor, and beloved by toddlers and adults alike.
As you can see, my homemade banana bread has plenty of redeeming qualities, chief being that it won’t send your blood sugar levels for a loop. You can keep them all to yourself, though. No one will be able to tell that this is healthy banana bread!
This recipe is flexible! Any of the following flours will work well. I love to use white whole wheat flour and whole wheat pastry flour—they offer all the whole wheat nutrients, without the characteristically nutty flavor.
Ultra Moist Healthy Banana Bread (made With Olive Oil)
Want to make your banana bread with almond flour? You sure can, but it’s not a simple substitute, so follow my almond flour-based banana bread recipe instead.

Now that I’ve finally perfected this basic banana bread, feel free to change up this recipe and make it your own. Toss some chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter! Same goes for chocolate chips. You could also add raisins, chopped dried fruit or slices of bananas.
Ridiculously Easy Banana Bread
Following a special diet? With a couple of minor tweaks, you can make this bread vegan (so dairy free and egg free, too) or gluten free. Check the recipe notes for details.
With this healthy banana bread recipe, you’re only a few simple ingredients away from the best banana bread ever! It’s made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. You can easily make this banana bread vegan or gluten free—check the recipe notes for details. Recipe yields 1 loaf (about 10 slices).
Storage suggestions: This bread is moist, so it will keep for just two or three days at room temperature. Store it in the refrigerator for five to seven days, or in the freezer for up to three months or so. I like to slice the bread before freezing and defrost individual slices, either by letting them rest at room temperature or lightly toasting them.
Easy Healthy Sugar Free Banana Bread Recipe
*Oil options: I love coconut oil here. I used unrefined coconut oil and can hardly taste it in the final product. Olive oil might lend an herbal note to the muffins, if you’re into that (I tested with California Olive Ranch’s “Everyday” variety and couldn’t even taste it). Vegetable oil has a neutral flavor, but the average vegetable/canola oil is highly processed, so I recommend using cold-pressed sunflower oil or grapeseed oil if possible.
**Flour alternatives: In place of the whole wheat flour, you can use an equal amount of all purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, spelt flour, or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Or, substitute 2 ½ cups oat flour.
Make it vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey, replace the eggs with flax eggs and choose non-dairy milk (I used almond milk) or water.
Vegan Banana Bread (no Sugar Added)
Make it lower in fat: I would argue that this bread contains a healthy amount of fat, but you can replace the oil with applesauce if you’re following a low-fat diet.
