Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cup mashed very ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 0.33 cup neutral oil such as avocado or light olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.75 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp milk add only if the batter seems thick
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Mash bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk in sweetener, oil, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended.
- Sprinkle dry ingredients over the wet mixture. Stir gently just until no dry streaks remain.
- Assess thickness; if very thick, stir in the milk. Fold in walnuts, if using.
- Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then lift out and cool completely on a rack before slicing.
Notes
Variation: Stir in sugar-free chocolate chips or swap walnuts for pecans. For a heartier loaf, replace 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour.
Storage: Wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze sliced bread for up to 2 months; thaw at room temp or warm in a toaster oven.
