Bake this moist and delicious sugar free banana bread, naturally sweetened using only very ripe bananas and unsweetened applesauce. This recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 very ripe medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. You can leave some small lumps for texture.
  3. Stir the applesauce, melted butter (or coconut oil), eggs, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Using bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black provides the most natural sweetness for this sugar free banana bread.
  • For a low carb banana bread alternative, this recipe works well, but check your specific dietary needs regarding almond flour content.
  • If you want a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter before baking.
  • This loaf is excellent for diabetics as it contains no refined sugar.
