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).

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!

Fast No Knead Multi Seed Bread Recipe
This whole wheat banana bread is made in one bowl, except for mashing the banana. I always mash my bananas in a separate bowl using a fork. You can also mash the bananas in a stand mixer.
Once the wet ingredients are well combined, add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla to the bowl. I like to add the vanilla last so that I can use the same measuring spoon that I used for the dry ingredients without washing in between.
Use your whisk to mix the batter up really well before adding the flour. You want to make sure that there are no clumps of baking soda or salt left in the batter.
No Sugar Banana Bread
Finally, add the flour to the bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix in the flour until it is just combined. Mix until you don’t see any more streaks of flour and then stop. Over-mixing the batter will make your banana bread dense instead of light and soft.
When I bake quick breads like this banana bread, I prepare my loaf pan by cutting a sheet of parchment paper to fit in the pan, as you see in the photo above. Lining the pan with parchment as well as greasing the pan will make sure that your banana bread comes out of the pan easily, without sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Banana bread will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months, when wrapped well. Let the baked bread cool completely on a wire rack before freezing.

You can thaw banana bread overnight in the refrigerator or on the counter at room temperature for a few hours. Individual slices of banana bread can be thawed quickly in the microwave.

You might be wondering, what makes this banana bread so healthy, anyway? Well, instead of using all-purpose flour, I use a mix of whole wheat pastry flour and almond flour. Whole wheat pastry flour has all the nutrients of regular whole wheat flour, but it won’t make baked goods dense or dry. In fact, combined with the almond flour, it gives this banana bread a perfect moist texture.
Next, I make it without butter or refined sugar. I use a mild olive oil (another neutral oil would work too) and swap granulated sugar for coconut
