This Healthy No Added Sugar Banana Bread is bursting with banana flavor and is made with no refined sugar. Dairy-free and just 5 grams of sugar per slice.

Ingredients

  • 500 grams(~17.5 ounces) peeled, overripe bananas (about 2 1/2 cups mashed from about 5-6 medium; see notes)
  • ¼ cupmelted coconut oil or neutral-flavored oil of choice
  • 2eggs
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla or banana extract
  • 1 ¾ cupswhite whole wheat flour (see notes)
  • 1 ½ teaspoonsbaking powder
  • ½ teaspoonbaking soda
  • ½ teaspoonkosher salt
  • 1 teaspooncinnamon
  • ½ cupmix-ins such as chopped walnuts or pecans, raisins, chocolate chips (optional; see notes)

Directions

  1. 1

    Set oven to 325F and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or 3 mini loaf pans.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the bananas, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix with a whisk until well combined. If you have a food scale, you can skip the mashing! Weigh your bananas,  then combine with the wet ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the  flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and any mix-ins; stir just until combined. Pour batter into your prepared loaf pan(s).

  4. 4

    Bake for 60 to 75 minutes for a large loaf (35-40 minutes for mini loaves) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean. Allow the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool another 15-20 minutes before slicing.
