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.

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.

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.

Healthy

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.

Banana

Very good. I made it half whole wheat and half low gluten unbleached white. I think next time I'll add walnuts...because there WILL be a next time LOL. It's also helpful that it uses up so many overripe bananas!
