Bake a moist, flavorful banana bread using only the natural sweetness of very ripe bananas. This recipe contains no added refined sugar, making it a healthy option for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low carb)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener or erythritol (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce into the mashed bananas until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and optional sweetener.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be, reducing the need for any added sweetener.
  • For a low-carb or keto version, substitute the all-purpose flour with 1 3/4 cups of fine almond flour.
  • If you prefer a denser texture, reduce the baking soda to 3/4 teaspoon.
