A moist, nutty, and low-carb twist on classic banana bread, this keto-friendly loaf uses banana extract for real flavor without the sugar. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ¼ cup coconut flour

• ½ cup granulated erythritol (like Swerve)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 3 large eggs

• ⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil

• ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1 tsp banana extract

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
• In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add melted butter, almond milk, banana extract, and vanilla extract.
• Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a thick batter forms.
• Gently fold in the chopped nuts, saving a few for topping if you’d like.
• Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with reserved nuts.
• Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
• Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

• Cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
• Freezer-friendly: Wrap slices individually for a quick grab-and-go treat.
• Customize it: Swap in pecans or sugar-free chocolate chips for a fun twist!

Tips for the Best Keto Banana Nut Bread Ever

• Room temp ingredients: Using eggs and milk at room temperature helps the batter mix better and bake more evenly.
• Banana extract = magic: Start with 1 teaspoon for a mild banana flavor; add up to 1½ teaspoons if you want a stronger banana kick.
• Slice cleanly: Use a serrated knife once fully cooled to get perfect slices.
• Storage: Wrap tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It freezes beautifully for up to 2 months, just thaw at room temp or microwave gently.

Recipe Variations You’ll Love

• Dairy-Free Option: Swap butter with coconut oil and make sure your chocolate chips (if adding) are dairy-free.
• Sweeter Touch: Add a few drops of liquid stevia or a tablespoon more erythritol if you prefer a sweeter loaf.
• Nut-Free Version: Use sunflower seed flour in place of almond flour (same amount) and omit the nuts, or replace them with pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
• Add Chocolate: Stir in ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips for a banana-choco twist.
• Make Muffins: Divide the batter into muffin liners and bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes for banana nut muffins!
