Easy Keto Banana Bread
This keto banana bread recipe is one of those recipes I know you will not be able to wait to reach room temperature when it comes out of the oven! And we can’t blame you because who can resist? After all, we unapologetically did the same!
Baking banana bread is a never-failing way to fill your home with cozy, baked goods aromas and have everyone staring at the oven.
Luckily, it won’t take long, as this is probably the easiest and most delicious homemade keto banana bread recipe you will ever make!
Ingredients You'll Need
This simple banana bread recipe only requires 8 ingredients that you probably already have in the kitchen! You'll need the following:
- Banana
- Eggs

How To Make Keto Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a loaf or cake pan with baking paper.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and mash the banana with the back of a fork.
- Mix in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Next, add the almond flour, flax meal, Erythritol, baking powder, and some salt. Fold with a spatula until the mixture reaches a batter consistency.
- Pour the batter into your loaf or cake pan and then place it in your oven for around 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the keto banana bread to rest until it reaches room temperature (I know this part is really tough!) Once it has cooled to room temperature, remove it from the baking pan, slice, and enjoy!

I’m new to Keto & have been collecting recipes & info. I thought bananas were not part of Keto?
Reply
Hi Emily. You're right, bananas are not keto-friendly.
However, we only use 1 banana for the entire banana bread loaf which makes the total net carbs very low.
Each slice of banana bread only contains 1.9 grams of net carbs, so you can enjoy it while following keto. Hope that helps! 🙂

Can you substitute stevia for the erythritol?
Reply
Hi Vivian, yes you can substitute stevia for the Erythritol. However, I would use liquid stevia as the granulated kind can cause problems when baking. As for the ratio, 1/2 cup powdered Erythritol would be 2 tsp of liquid stevia. Enjoy!

I’m new to Keto and following your 19 day plan. I thought we weren’t able to have actual bananas. I’ve seen other recipes just using the extract.
Reply
Bananas aren't usually allowed on keto, but because the recipe only uses 1 banana for the whole cake of 12 slices, the number of total carbs in low.

Delicious! One of the first keto baked goods I’ve made that doesn’t taste keto! Moist and yummy with subtle banana flavor. I did substitute flax for physilium husks.

Yum! Thanks Cari 🙂

Beautifully moist and delicate. Thank you for this recipe.Reply
This was very good but surprised that bananas are allowed.
Also a question, I have a erythritol/ monk fruit blend. Is this okay to use?
Reply
Hi Libby! Yes, bananas aren't usually allowed on keto, but because the recipe only uses 1 banana for the whole cake of 12 slices, the number of total carbs in low. And yes, you can use an Erythritol/Monk Fruit blend as it's completely sugar-free 🙂Reply
Can l substitute coconut flour as l found too much almond flour actually stops my ketosis. If so how much. Thanks for the ratios of stevia to erythritol. Could l bulk it out with more flax seed instead of psyllium husks as they tend to give me stomach cramps.
Reply
Yes, you can substitute the 3/4 cup of almond flour for around 21 grams of coconut flour. The ratio is 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every 1 cup of almond flour. I hope that helps.Reply
Can I substitute Xylitol for the sweetener?
Reply
Yes! Any sugar-free sweetener will work fine - Xylitol, stevia, monk fruit etc.

Dear Jennifer. Thank you for your excellent, and easy recipes; especially your desserts.
I just made your banana bread. It was simply delicious.
Sometimes you need a delicious treat that doesn't contain ingredients that are just not good for the body.
I am so glad. I found your app.
Thank you again. Keep up the good work.
