Healthy Banana Bread

Delicious Healthy Banana Bread recipe is perfect served as cake to have as a healthy snack on it’s own, or served topped with a little butter. Try it is pan fried in butter on the stove top for a delicious treat. Ideal for anyone generally trying to reduce the carbs and sugar in their life. It’s also a great recipe for diabetics, celiacs, those with gluten intolerance, and for anyone following a low carb, keto or lchf way of eating.

You may have tried my other Low Carb Banana Bread Recipe which is equally as delicious as this one, but it does have the addition of nuts and seeds. This recipe is simply banana with the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg with no added nuts or seeds, aside from the almond flour/meal that is used as a base for the recipe. It is a really moist recipe that keeps really well and is also ideal for freezing.

Altering the Sweetness

As my intention is to keep this as low carb as possible, I have only used medium sized bananas in this recipe. You could increase that amount if you wish to give it a more intense banana flavor. Note that 2 banana’s divided into 18 serves does not equate to many carbs. You could also make this recipe without any added sweetener as well, as the banana could be adequate in sweetness for you- adding an additional banana may add a bit more sweetness if desired but will also up the carbs.

If you like this recipe, you should try my Healthy Pumpkin Bread Recipe as well, which inspired me to make this recipe with banana, as it is a fantastic base recipe. There is also another Banana Bread recipe that has lots of nuts and seeds added, for a bit of an additional nutritional boost. Both are lovely recipes so I can’t choose between one or the other.
