Bake this moist, tender sugar-free banana bread relying on very ripe bananas for natural sweetness. It is a guilt-free loaf perfect for breakfast or a wholesome snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or substitute with 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 in the applesauce, melted butter (or oil), 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. If using, mix in the monk fruit sweetener now.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  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 carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the moistest bread, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for texture.
  • If you prefer a slightly denser, low-carb version, substitute the all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 cups of fine almond flour.
