You deserve a delicious, guilt-free snack! This easy recipe delivers the ultimate moist sugar-free banana bread, relying only on very ripe bananas for natural sweetness. It is perfect for a wholesome breakfast or low-sugar treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or substitute with gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or unsweetened chocolate chips (optional mix-in)

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. You can leave a few small lumps for texture.
  3. Stir the melted coconut oil (or butter) and egg into the mashed bananas until combined. Add the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix to keep your bread moist.
  6. If using, gently fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the best natural sweetness and moisture, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend that contains xanthan gum.
  • If you want a richer flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
  • This bread stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
