Bake a moist and flavorful banana bread using only the natural sweetness of very ripe bananas. This recipe contains no added refined sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

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 the applesauce, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the optional nuts, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be. Look for bananas with significant brown spots.
  • For a lower-carb option, substitute the flour with 1 3/4 cups of almond flour and add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste without refined sugar, add 1/4 cup of a zero-calorie sweetener like monk fruit blend.
