Banana bread made with almond flour will be very delicate when warm so you’ll need to allow it to cool for about 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a cooling rack to completely before cutting into.

Next is the best part! Slice it up and serve. You are going to fall in love with the flavor and texture in this Keto banana bread!

Note: This bread is not overly sweet, so if you prefer it a little on the sweeter side, add another ¼ cup of the monk fruit/allulose.

How Do I Store Sugar Free Banana Bread?

It’ll store just fine at room temp on your kitchen counter. If you want to extend the freshness a bit, you can put it in the fridge for up to a week.

Here is a meal prep tip for you! You’re going to love the flavors of this gluten free banana bread so go ahead and double the recipe! You can enjoy one now, and freeze one for later when you need a quick breakfast or snack on the go.

To freeze it, just wrap your desired portion sizes really well in a plastic wrap then slip them into a freezer bag, Place in the freezer for up to a couple of months. To thaw, just unwrap it and place it in the fridge over night.

Can I Eat Bananas on Keto?

To say a food is or is not Keto is debatable in some Keto groups. It’s important to remember that Keto is not just about carb intake, it’s about eating foods that are healthy with low to no sugar. For one serving of bananas, there’re 25 grams of carbs! That’s more than a daily amount of carbs recommended on Keto.

By using banana extract in place of bananas in this recipe, it takes all that worry away with only 5 net carbs per serving! You can enjoy guilt free banana bread anytime you’d like.

Tips for the Best Keto Banana Bread

What’s the Best Sweetener for Gluten Free Banana Bread?

This recipe specifically calls for Monk fruit/ Allulose Blend. But if you have another sugar substitute you enjoy baking with, by all means, use it. Swerve also makes a fantastic confectioners Keto sweetener that you can use.

When substituting sweeteners in any recipe, always look at the sweetness conversion chart to see if you should use equal amounts or adjust according to the instructions with the sweeteners.

Can I Substitute the Walnuts in Sugar Free Banana Nut Bread?

Of course! Pecans are a great Keto friendly nut that bakes very similarly to walnuts. You really can’t go wrong with whichever nut you use.

What if I Don’t Have Loaf Pan?

Loaf pans like this one are very affordable and they last a very long time. They’re dish washer safe and can really hold up well, even for avid bakers.

But, if you’re like some people and just don’t want another pan in your kitchen, this recipe can be easily be converted to sugar free banana nut muffins.

Fill the silicone muffin liners about ¾’s full. Almond flour doesn’t rise much, so you can fill them with more batter than traditional muffins. The baking temp will be the same, but the amount of time will vary. Start checking for doneness after about 15 minutes.

What Toppings Can I Serve with Low Carb Banana Bread?

This banana nut bread is perfect without any toppings. But for a little touch of extra decadence, you can top a slice with a little homemade whip cream with some additional chopped nuts or you can make this Salted Caramel Sauce to drizzle over the top.

If you’re looking for a different twist on leftover slices of almond flour banana nut bread, butter them on both sides, then add them to a warm skillet and slightly toast them. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and granulated sugar substitute like Swerve or this Monk fruit/Erythritol Blend.

There’s so many yummy options for this recipe!

How Do I Make Almond Flour Banana Bread Moist?

Almond flour is easy to bake with and you’ll find so many uses for it when you become more familiar with its baking properties. By nature, almond flour is high in fat which really keeps baked goods moist, but this gluten free banana bread even has an added guarantee for mouth watering moist bread. Oat fiber!

What are the Carbs in Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?

The Oat Fiber is really important in this recipe!  I use it in so many recipes, because of the amazing texture it gives whatever I’m baking!  It is hands down, the best ingredient I’ve baked with!  The Oat Fiber that I use is made by Lifesource Foods, because they grind it to a very fine powder and has a mild flavor. I buy it in the 16 ounce bag, which lasts a while, because you don’t need to use much in your recipes.

Oat Fiber is not the same as Oat Flour, which is made from grinding oats.  Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats and is pure insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve in water and is not broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is Keto friendly.
