THE BEST KETO BANANA BREAD

Low carb banana bread sounds kind of impossible, right?

And I know what you're thinking, "Joe, bananas are filled with sugar, so how can you make a sugar free banana bread?"

Well, we're not actually going to use bananas, but this will have all the banana flavor it would have if we did. Seriously, it tastes just as good as traditional banana bread!

And to do that, we will be using sugar free banana extract.It adds the perfect amount of banana flavor while keeping this banana bread low carb and keto friendly.

As for the texture, this keto banana bread is soft, moist, and slightly dense with the perfect crumb.

Every single person who has tried this recipe doesn't believe that it's a low carb sugar free banana bread.

But believe me, it is, and each slice of this low carb banana bread has only has2 NET CARBS!

INGREDIENTS FOR KETO BANANA BREAD

So, we will need quite a few ingredients to make this recipe.

But they are all super common keto ingredients - most of which you probably have already.

Here is what you'll need:

• 1 ½ CupsBlanched Almond Flour
• Heaping ½ Cup Confectioners Erythritol
• ½ tablespoon Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 6 Tbsps Melted Butter
• ¼ Cup Full Fat Sour Cream
• ⅓ Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• ½ tablespoon Banana Extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Sugar Free Maple Syrup

And if you want everything this loaf of keto banana bread has to offer, but in a single-serve5 minuteversion, you can use almost all of these ingredients to make this low carb banana bread mug cake.

Oh, and you can also use the banana extract to make these keto banana pancakes!

SWEETENING THIS SUGAR FREE BANANA BREAD

Now, even though the banana extract will give our bread a ton of banana flavor, it isn't going to provide any sweetness to the loaf as typical bananas would.

So, to add a little bit of sweetness, we will be using confectioners erythritol. And for this, I used Confectioners Swerve - it is a 0 carb, 0 calorie sugar substitute that has no impact on blood sugar levels.

And if you want another option, you could also use Lakanto's Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener. Monk fruit is essentially the same thing as Swerve and will work just as well in this recipe!

Now, another way we're going to sweeten this up is by using a little maple syrup. And I have a pretty great 0 carb maple syrup recipe that you can use.

It is perfect for this recipe and excellent on these keto pancakes, keto french toast, and even keto crepes!

KETO FLOURS TO USE

Today we will make almond flour banana bread to keep this recipe low carb and gluten free.

But if you do not want to use almond flour or have an allergy, you can replace it with walnut flour or sunflower seed flour. Just substitute either one with almond flour at a1:1 ratio.

Now, youDO NOTwant to replace the almond flour with coconut flour. Since coconut flour is highly absorbent, it will dry out the bread and make it too crumbly if you were to use it.

So stick with almond flour, walnut flour, or sunflower seed flour to make this recipe.

STEP 1: MIXING THE INGREDIENTS

First, preheat the oven to350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).

Then take out a large bowl and add in your dry ingredients - the almond flour, confectioners erythritol, baking powder, and cinnamon - and whisk everything until they're combined.

Next, in an even larger bowl, add in the wet ingredients - the melted butter, sour cream, almond milk, banana extract, vanilla extract, eggs, and maple syrup - and give them a good mix to combine.

Now, add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients and fold them together with a rubber spatula until a banana bread batter forms.

STEP 2: BAKING

After the batter is ready, line an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and coat the parchment paper with baking spray.

Then transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, add any toppings you want on top of the bread, and bake for around45-50 minutesor until a toothpick comes out clean from the center when inserted.

When it is done, take your banana bread out of the oven and let the bread cool completely in the loaf pan.

After it cools, transfer it from the loaf pan to a cutting board, cut up some banana bread slices, and enjoy!
