# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups almond flour
02 - 1/4 cup coconut flour
03 - 1/4 cup erythritol or keto sweetener
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
08 - 3 large eggs, room temperature
09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
10 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
→ Optional Add-ins
13 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
14 - 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease thoroughly.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix as this can result in a dense texture.
05 - Fold in walnuts, pecans, or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top surface evenly.
07 - Bake for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
08 - Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing for best results.
# Expert Tricks:
01 -
- The texture is remarkably close to traditional banana bread with a moist, tender crumb that does not feel like a compromise
- You get all the comforting banana flavor while staying completely in ketosis without the carb crash afterward
02 -
- For the strictest keto diet, reduce to one banana or try pumpkin puree with banana extract instead
- The bread needs to cool completely before slicing or it will crumble and lose that perfect texture
03 -
- Really mash those bananas well so no chunks remain for the smoothest texture
- Let your eggs come to room temperature before starting for better incorporation
