After all, you wouldn’t be able to include banana in a keto banana bread – too many carbs. And without it, you’d miss the point completely.
But then it came to me! There is a way to bake perfectly moist and delicious, gluten-free sugar-free banana bread without missing anything (except the carbs). Yay!
I was in the mood to make something different for breakfast and banana bread recipe is the easiest recipe I found online.
It is shocking to know how healthy minded people are nowadays. A simple banana bread recipe can now have several healthy versions like low carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, keto, paleo etc.

This low carb bread recipe is an amended version of this original keto bread recipe. Stevia is my sugar substitute. The original recipe does not have this, I was kind of worried that it will taste bland, so I added stevia. This is totally optional though.

- Butter to coat the 2 loaf pans
- 3 medium to large bananas
- 6 eggs
- 4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1/4-1/3 cup of water may need to be added to get it to the correct batter consistency and amount. (See directions.) Follow your heart.
- 4 cups almond flour
- 3 Tablespoons Anthony’s Organic Psyllium Husk (affiliate)
- 2 Tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Note:
- I guess the Psyllium Husk is bit of a unique ingredient. I got it on amazon while I had the Keto Flu because it helps with keeping a girl regular, if you know what I mean. It only has 4 total carbs AND it has 3 fibers so it’s only 1 net carbs! I’ve been sprinkling this on all sorts of things and adding it to baking. Trust me… if Keto is messing with your #2, you need to order this stuff.
Another Note: Next time I make this I’m going to add a few tablespoons of chia seeds too!
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Coat 2 loaf pans with butter (beautiful butter)
- Use a potato masher to mash the bananas.
- Add the eggs and oil and then keep on mashing.
- You’ll want about 4 cups of the wet ingredients total. I mash in a quart size pyrex measuring dish and then fill up the 4 cup line with water. It’s about 1/3 of a cup-ish.
- In a separate bowl whisk the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add wet banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just enough to combine.
- Pour the goodness into the loaf pans and bake for 45 minutes. Or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from loaf pan and let cool for a bit before digging in… but if you can’t wait, just slather on the butter and try not to eat the whole loaf. Or just eat it. This whole loaf is less carbs than I would have had in a meal before keto.
- Seriously. Carbs are so freaking good.
