Sugar Free Keto Banana Bread made nut free, low carb and gluten free! This is an exclusive recipe I’m sharing from my new cookbook, Naturally Keto!
Best Banana Bread
Keto banana bread? Is it even possible? It sure is, using a few secret ingredients, to make this a bread you are going to absolutely LOVE ! I’ve had so many requests to turn my popular Coconut Flour Bread into the best banana bread that I felt it would be fitting to include this fabulous recipe in my new cookbook, Naturally Keto due to release October 29th! Consider this a sneak peak into my new cookbook!
How to Make Keto Banana Bread
Obviously making a keto banana bread is tricky since banana’s are so high in carbs and sugar and using them would definitely make for a higher carb bread and that’s not exactly what we want when we’re on a keto diet. We are looking for the same taste and texture as the traditional banana bread we remember. I remember my grandmother’s and mother’s incredible banana bread from my childhood and it gives me all the feels. I knew recreating a keto version for my new cookbook, Naturally Keto had to happen.
The most important ingredient in making a keto banana bread is purchasing some banana flavor extract. It’s a must and I highly recommend getting your hands on some for this delicious keto banana bread. You can use your favorite sweetener of choice to replace my choice of sweeteners, but you’ll probably need something that would equal about 2 cups of sugar. I like using a combination of vanilla liquid stevia as well as brown sugar sweetener from Swerve, as they balance out or even cancel out the aftertaste that some experience with both sweeteners.
Easy Banana Bread made Keto
The best part about this easy banana bread is that you don’t need any ripe bananas making this a super easy recipe! You can add walnuts or pecans to the batter or just chocolate chips as you see here in my pictures today. With the base of my coconut flour bread to work with, I knew with just a few easy tweaks to that recipe this would be a winner and it is! My entire family loves this keto banana bread so much and my picky hubby didn’t even complain it doesn’t have banana’s in it!

Keto Banana Bread
This recipe makes two 1-pound loaves of banana bread, so you can freeze one or share it. If you want only one loaf, just cut all of the ingredients in half. This recipe comes from my new cookbook Naturally Keto.
Ingredients
- 12 eggs or 3 cups
- 1 cup salted butter melted or avocado oil
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp banana extract plus 1 tsp
- 2 tsp maple extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla liquid stevia
- 1 cup packed Swerve brown sugar sweetener or 190 grams
- 1 cup coconut flour or 120 grams
- 1 cup ground flaxseed or 112 grams
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp xanthan gum or gelatin
- 1/2 tsp salt
Optional Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cups walnuts or pecans, chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two 9 by 5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, with the edges left hanging over the sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
-
Place the eggs, butter, water, extracts, and stevia in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer) and mix until well combined.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar sweetener, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt. Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredient mixture and blend until combined.
-
Divide the batter between two bowls and stir half of the chocolate chips or nuts, if using, into each bowl. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pans.
-
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pans.
-
Once cool, remove from the pans by lifting up on the parchment paper. Slice and serve one loaf and freeze one loaf.
-
Storage: Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 1 week or place in a zip-top freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month.
Recipe Notes
Net Carbs: 2g
Do you have a suggestion for the amount of nuts or chocolate chips to add?
That’s how I make one loaf all the time it delicious! I just add flavors to the coconut flour bread recipe and whatever add ins I like, chopped dates, walnuts, unsweetened coconut etc. I just made one yesterday!
If I have stevia but not vanilla stevia, can I just add a little vanilla extract?
yes
I want to know what you think of coconut sugar as a replacement. Also I pre-ordered your book but I’m not sure how to find my receipt or how to send it to you so i can get the free e-book.
I don’t use coconut sugar because it is still sugar and spikes blood glucose, but if you’re not concerned about carbs and sugar then you can use it. It is a less refined option than white sugar. Thank you for preordering. You should have received some sort of email from Amazon to confirm your purchase, just forward them email to [email protected]
Can this be made in a Bundt pan? If so just spray the pan with oil instead of parchment paper? Also how long would you bake for?
Hi Brenda, I’m excited to make this Banana bread and thinking of adding some Banana flavored protein powder (Isopure 0 carb) to up the protein and enhance the banana flavor? Any ideas of the quantity and whether I need to add or omit another ingredient? Thank you in advance. P.S. My hubby made your Low Carb Coconut Flaxseed bread…..THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I’ve tried a few recipes before this one and this is definitely a keeper. With the cold weather coming up I’m looking forward to a protein packed soup with a slice of your bread…yum!!! Have a great day 🙂
TWELVE EGGS!! Shiii…
To make two loaves, 6 for one loaf
Ingredients say 3 cups of eggs. Although your video says 1 1/2 cups eggs. ???
At the beginning of the video I stated I was only making one loaf, half the recipe.
This is the best! We love it! It also freezes beautifully!
Hello,
We made these today. The only thing that I was confused by a bit was the 12 eggs or three cups but I stuck to 12 eggs and the loads worked out perfectly. Made a pecan and chocolate chip loaf. Both are delicious. Will definitely make again.
Thank you
OMG!!
This IS the best sugar free banana bread ever! You nailed it. Thank you Brenda!!
Thank you!
What can you use instead of coconut flour please?
I made this banana bread, and find that it is not quite sweet enough. Any suggestions? I did toast a slice and put Polaner Raspberry fruit on it, and this tastes pretty good. Thanks.
