Low Carb Banana Bread is a moist, gluten-free loaf made with almond and coconut flours, real banana, and low-carb sweeteners. Packed with classic banana flavor and only 8g net carbs per slice, it’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a keto-friendly dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon stevia powder (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe banana. Mix in softened butter and coconut oil until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in stevia powder and low-carb sweetener until fully combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Fold in chopped walnuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use banana extract to boost flavor without adding more carbs.
  • Swap butter with additional coconut oil to make it dairy-free.
  • Mini loaves or muffins reduce bake time and are great for portion control.
  • For added flavor, stir in cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Wrap and freeze slices individually for easy meal prep.
