Bake a moist, tender banana bread using only the natural sweetness of very ripe bananas. This recipe contains no added refined sugar and makes a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or almond flour for low carb)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional, for extra moisture)

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, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the optional applesauce if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. 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. Look for bananas with significant brown spots.
  • For a low-carb or keto version, substitute the whole wheat flour with 1 3/4 cups of fine almond flour and add 1/4 cup of a zero-calorie sweetener like monk fruit blend.
  • If you prefer a denser texture, reduce the baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon.
