Ripe bananas lend plenty of natural sweetness to banana bread recipes. This recipe uses agave nectar and applesauce to sweeten up this loaf a little more. No white or brown sugar is added at all. That means it will have fewer calories (152 per slice) and only 4 grams of fat. If you are following the Weight Watchers plan, you will find a link to the WW Points on the recipe card at the end of this post.
Agave sweetened low fat banana bread is a great choice for a healthier version of banana bread. The agave provides just the right amount of sweetness. It still turns out moist too.
Agave syrup (also known as agave nectar) is produced from the agave plant. It’s sweeter than regular sugar, so you can use less of it to sweeten your baked goods and other foods. Agave syrup isn’t necessarily better for you than regular sugar, but it does have a lower glycemic index than sugar.
Best Banana Bread
Most quick bread recipes are made by mixing dry and wet ingredients separately and then stirring to combine the two. this banana bread recipe is made in the same fashion. The batter is scraped into a loaf pan, and baked for about 45 minutes.
Don’t worry, this is normal! Banana bread cracks on the top of the loaf because the top sets first when baking. The bread will continue to rise while baking, forcing the bread to crack on the top as it needs room to grow. That’s why banana bread has a crack through the top that looks like an earthquake fault line!
Once your agave sweetened low fat bread comes out of the oven, let it cool completely. Then remove it from the pan and keep it stored in a covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you want to extend the life of the banana bread a little bit, wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for three months in the freezer. Wrap the whole loaf (or individual slices) with plastic wrap, and thaw as needed.
Moist Maple Banana Bread
Another healthy banana bread recipe is my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread, which has plenty of protein. Whole Wheat Healthy Banana Bread is packed with whole wheat flour and dried fruit. My Heavenly Healthy Banana Bread is also a popular choice. And this Makeover Banana Nut Bread is a healthier choice too.

I was skeptical. I have a banana bread recipe I’m obsessed with. It’s better than Starbucks’ and when I make it with walnuts its better than any cake on the block! I don’t brag about many things, but that recipe will blow you away! But with the new year, I wanted to make some Skinny Banana Bread with the brown bananas on my counter calling my name. So I made this low fat and low sugar recipe! I wasshocked by how good it was! I mean, I guess it makes sense because the bananas keep the bread from getting dry.
Agave Sweetened Low Fat Banana Bread
This recipe doesn’t have much sugar in it. Usually banana bread has a ton, but I scaled it way back to keep it as healthy as possible. You won’t notice the fat being gone but you will notice it’s less sweet. It didn’t bother me at all but if you ever want some more sweetness after you bake it you can add a drizzle of honey! I liked the less sweet version because I had a slice of banana bread and some greek yogurt for breakfast and it was a great way to start out my day. Usually I eat banana bread and feel a little guilty…like I’m eating cake! But this Skinny Banana Bread is guilt free!
As with any quick bread, the number one tip is to not over mix! If a recipe ever calls to add in chocolate chips, nuts, blueberries or anything at the end, always add it in before you’re finished mixing in the previous ingredient. For example, don’t wait to completely mix in your dry ingredients with your wet and then add in your walnuts and stir them in… that makes for more mixing than you need! Add in the walnuts when the dry ingredients are 75% mixed in! The more you stir, the tougher your bread will be, that’s why recipes and us bloggers always warn you about over mixing.
My next tip is about the bananas… make sure you’re ripe! The flavor changes as they ripen and those yellow peels with the brown marks make for the sweetest banana bread! If I have some bananas and I know I want to make bread in a few days, I’ll place them in brown paper bags to help speed up the process!
Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe
I hope you enjoy my Skinny Banana Bread as much as I did! It’s a healthier version of one of my favorite things to make and I looooooved eating it. Though my husband stole the last 2 slices!! I guess I’ll just have to make some more…The trick to making ultra-moist, healthy banana breadis to use extra-virgin olive oil and FOUR WHOLE BANANAS, with both white and whole wheat flour in the recipe!
I loveeee a good banana bread. But it’s easy to try to bake one and have it come out dry and bland. Not with this recipe! This recipe for super moist banana bread is not only DELICIOUS, but it’s healthy too!
There are a few tricks to making the ultimate moist banana bread. Using olive oil helps keep it moist, as does using LOTS of bananas– I used four, which also helps sweeten the bread naturally. This means that there isn’t a lot of sugar in the recipe, but it’s still decadently sweet.
Low Calorie Banana Bread
This banana bread recipe also uses both white AND whole wheat flour, which helps take the nutrition up a notch but still maintain a light and fluffy texture.
I LOVE using olive oil to bake with. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that olive oil is one of the healthiest fats out there, and baking with olive oil is big with Mediterranean food. But health benefits aside, I just like it better than butter in a lot of circumstances.
Using oil to bake keeps things much more moist than using butter. And best of all, it STAYS moist for days later, whereas baked goods with butter have a tendency to dry out faster.
Eggless Banana Bread
I also love that you don’t have to soften it or melt it from it’s solid state- just pour the olive oil into the bowl and you’re good to go!
And since the banana bread batter gets poured into a greased loaf pan, it makes removing the banana bread a breeze. Just flip the pan upside down
That said, butter is also delicious. Feel free to use it, or another oil such as coconut or canola, in this recipe. And I do recommend serving the final product warm, slathered with a generous helping of salted butter. YUM.

Then, when I’m ready to bake, I pop them in the microwave, cut off the tops, and slide the banana right out of the peel!
Full disclosure: it looks absolutely disgusting when it comes out. It’s mushy and quite unnerving. BUT, I swear, this trick is life changing when it comes to baking with bananas!
Best of all- when it’s frozen like that, it becomes very mushy, so you don’t need to worry about mashing the banana separately. Just slide it right into the bowl and mix away!
Banana Walnut Bread
I recommend using a glass loaf pan to make banana bread. I’ve used metal before, and almost every time, the edges of the bread come out dry and burnt-tasting.
The reason for this is the darker the pan, the hotter it gets in the oven. And if it’s too hot, it will overcook the edges of the banana bread before the inside has had a chance to cook completely.
Enter: GLASS bakeware. I love it for the same way I like using white ceramic baking dishes– they won’t get too hot and overcook some parts of whatever you’re making. I have these and they’ve served me well!
Keto Banana Bread
Cooking time will vary depending on a few factors- elevation, how big the bananas are, how big the eggs are, how hot your oven runs, etc.
You should make sure you check for doneness by inserting a toothpick (or cake tester) in the center of the bread and removing it. If it comes out clean- the bread is done! If raw dough sticks to it, it needs more
