This one bowl low carb chocolate chip banana bread has a lower (diabetic) carb count and is almost sugar-free great for blood sugar levels.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (approx 240g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 75 g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 90 g xylitol
  • 250 g almond flour
  • 50 g oat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 100 g dark chocolate chunks/chips, 70% or above

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan. Grease and line the base of a standard loaf tin

  2. 2

    In a large bowl weigh and then mash your bananas with a fork. This will allow for more accurate carb counting as the sizes and weights of bananas can vary greatly.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs, greek yoghurt, vanilla extract and xylitol to your mashed banana and whisk everything well.

  4. 4

    Now add the flours, baking powder and cinnamon. Whisk everything well to create a batter but you don't need to overmix it. So stop when everything looks well combined

  5. 5

    Sprinkle in most of your chocolate chips and fold them in gently ensuring they are well spread through the batter.

  6. 6

    Pour the cake batter into the loaf tin and sprinkle over the remaining chocolate chips

  7. 7

    Place the banana bread in the oven and cook for 50 - 55 minutes, but I would start testing after 50 minutes.Your skewer should come out clean (as long as you don't hit a chocolate chunk!)

  8. 8

    Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack and leave to completely cool
