A lot of keto dieters are under the impression that bananas are off-limits and the only way to enjoy a slice of low-carb banana bread is to rely on extracts, which never taste quite as good as the real deal.
Not this recipe!
Banana bread is so yummy. Moist, sweet, a little crunchy when you add in walnuts…it’s like eating dessert for breakfast or a snack. There simply had to be a way to enjoy it even while eating low carb!
This is seriously the best banana bread. It’s absolutely delicious!

Recipe Notes
Banana extract can be used in place of all or some of the banana to reduce carbs.
Less eggs should work. May be able to use only 4 or 5 eggs.
Use a low temperature. Turn down the oven temperature a little and bake it for just a little bit longer. Don’t be surprised if you need more time in the oven than the recipe calls for. Simply keep the low-carb banana bread in until it passes the toothpick test and no longer has any soft areas.
Make banana muffins. If you want it to cook up faster, another option is making banana muffins with a mix of almond flour and oat fiber. Mmmm – they are so good!
Turn this into mini muffins. Consider making these mini keto banana bread muffins, too. It’s fun to have a basket of them out for the company to enjoy when you’re ready for a treat.
