Taste and texture:

This banana bread is moist, tender, and not too sweet. The ripe bananas add just the perfect amount of natural sugar to lightly sweeten this recipe, and the almond flour adds a bit of extra sweetness that compliments the bananas perfectly.

Key ingredients and substitutions: 

• Bananas - ripe bananas are the star of this banana bread without brown sugar. The natural sugars from bananas add the perfect amount of sweetness to this recipe so that you don't have to add any sugar. 
• Almond flour - instead of flour, almond flour is used to make this low sugar banana bread. Almond flour is full of healthy fats, is low in carbs, high in fiber, and higher in protein compared to regular flour. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal, as almond meal is too course and gritty. 
• Tapioca flour - tapioca flour is a great gluten free flour that helps make this banana bread so light and fluffy. 
• Coconut flour - coconut flour helps add natural sweetness to this recipe. Coconut flour also helps give banana bread the perfect crust. I do not recommend swapping this for another type of flour. 
• Eggs - eggs help add moisture to this banana bread and help it rise when they bake. I do not recommend omitting the eggs in this recipe. As such this is not a sugar free banana bread recipe. 
• Sugar free chocolate chips - these are optional. If you prefer banana bread without chocolate chips you can leave them out. To keep this chocolate chip banana bread sugar free be sure you use sugar free chocolate chips and not regular chocolate chips.

Tips and variations: 

• Be sure to use ripe bananas for making banana bread. They should have brown or black spots on them. Don't try using green bananas as the recipe won't work out. 
• Let this no sugar banana loaf cool completely before cutting into it - trust me, the wait is worth it!
• You can make this banana bread with or without the chocolate chips. If you are adding chocolate chips and you want to keep this banana bread sugar free, be sure to use sugar free chocolate chips. 
• If you want a little more texture to your banana bread feel free to add some chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts or dried fruit such as raisins. 
• This simple banana bread recipe freezes really well so feel free to make a double or triple batch and save a loaf or two for later. 
• Do not try swapping the flours in this recipe. I can't guarantee that any swaps will work out. 

How to store:

Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 7 days. 

Banana bread also freezes really well. To freeze, let the loaf cool then place it in an airtight bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
