Moisture is key when it comes to delicious banana bread, and the ratio of flour to banana makes all the difference. If you use too much flour, you’ll end up with dry bread.If you don’t use enough, your bread will be too wet. When measuring the flour, be sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level off the top without shaking the cup for more precise measuring.
Use a fork or potato masher to mash your bananas or, to get the bananas mashed really well (so you don’t end up with big chunks in your bread), try mashing them with a blender or an electric (hand or stand) mixer. Not only do they get completely mashed up, it’s quick and easy.

Completely Healthy Banana Bread
This Healthy Banana Bread recipe is so easy to make and bakes up super moist and tender with the most amazing flavor. It's so deliciousthat you’d never guess it's made healthier! Enjoy it as a sweet snack or make-ahead dessert option. You can even freeze it for later use.
To freeze: Tightly wrap the whole loaf in plastic wrap, then place in a resealable bag and freeze. Thaw your bread at room temperature when you’re ready to eat. The other option is to wrap up individual slices in plastic wrap and store them in a resealable bag. You can then thaw your slices at room temperature or microwave them for about 20-30 seconds. Vegan banana bread: Use maple syrup (not honey), use flax eggs and choose non-dairy yogurt. Gluten-free: I like to use Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten-free 1-to-1 flour blend or King Arthur gluten-free measure for measure flour. Flour options: An equal amount of all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be used in place of the white whole wheat flour. You can also use an equal amount of whole wheat flour, but the texture may change some.

Calorie Healthy Pumpkin Banana Bread (low Fat!)
Now.. you might be thinking.. healthy banana bread? How could this be?! But I promise you would NEVER even know that this banana bread is made with good-for-you ingredients. Just in case you’re wondering…
You might be wondering.. why is banana bread bad so for you? Typical banana bread is loaded with sugar, high in fat, and won’t really do much to keep you full. We believe in all things in moderation, but this banana bread is so much better for you!
Applesauce: I have not tried making this banana bread recipe without applesauce so I’m not sure how it would work. You might be able to substitute yogurt or pumpkin but without testing it I can’t be sure. If you want a pumpkin bread recipe, try this Healthy Pumpkin Bread!
Easy Healthy Banana Bread
Coconut Oil: You can replace coconut oil with extra virgin olive oil or melted butter. Canola oil will also work but we don’t recommend cooking with canola oil.
Flour: You can replace whole wheat flour with white flour but your bread might be a little more dense. I would not recommend almond flour, coconut flour, or oat flour– they will not work. Coconut and almond flour can never be replaced 1:1 with regular flour.
To make gluten free: I haven’t tried making this bread gluten free but others have used Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour and had success. If you try it, let me know!

Mini Loaves– I haven’t tried making this healthy banana bread recipe into mini loaves, but I think it would work! Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the loaf pan.
Whether you enjoy this healthy banana bread for a breakfast treat or with a cup of coffee as an afternoon snack – I think you’ll find that it’s tasty and comforting.
Perfect Healthy Banana Bread
Is banana bread a healthy snack?In moderation, yes! We wouldn’t eat this bread every day – but it’s a fun healthy snack from time to time!
Storing Banana Bread: You can store this bread covered on your counter for a few days, but I recommend keeping it in the refrigerator for maximum freshness! It will last up to a week in the refrigerator – but will lose its freshness after about 3 days on the counter.
How to freeze Banana Bread: You can slice this bread and individually wrap it or freeze banana bread whole. To defrost a whole loaf – take it out the night before you’d like to enjoy it and set it in the refrigerator.
The Best Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
When you’re ready to serve – pop in the microwave. If you’re defrosting a single slice, you can put it directly in the microwave or toaster oven until it is warm.
I typically grease my loaf pan really well with coconut oil. You can also line a pan with parchment paper. Allow the bread to cool completely for about one hour before trying to take it out of the pan.
You can also run a butter knife along the edges
