“I jumped on the banana bread baking-band-wagon, but did it KETO STYLE! These lovely, sweet slices were inspired like most sweet things I make: Funnyman hinted he wanted it! The macros are based on one slice (50g / 1.8oz) and they are just so lovely with a spread of butter! I must add – I have made this three times, and the one time I decided to photograph it, the centre collapsed a little. In all honesty, I still do not know why, but the bread was cooked through safely and still absolutely delicious! The slices freeze well if wrapped.” – Monya

More on Keto Banana Bread…

Embracing a ketogenic lifestyle doesn’t mean sacrificing our favorite indulgences. Thanks to innovative thinking, we can enjoy guilt-free alternatives to traditional treats. One such delight is banana bread. Here, I skipped high-sugar bananas and used a banana food flavouring instead!

The foundation of this sweet loaf lies in the choice of ingredients. Almond flour, derived from ground almonds, replaces conventional flour, ensuring a moist and tender texture. It’s also low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, perfectly aligning with a ketogenic diet. Additionally, almond flour supplies protein, fibre, and essential nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium.
 
To achieve that distinctive banana taste, banana food flavouring comes to the rescue providing an intense burst of flavour, without adding unnecessary sugar or carbs. Combined with erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol with a minimal impact on blood sugar levels, we can enjoy the sweet, comforting essence of bananas while staying in ketosis.
 
So, why not enjoy a slice or two of this guilt-free delight and relish the taste of nostalgia while staying true to your health goals!
 

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Per serving

Calories: 181kcal | Carbohydrates: 2.3g | Protein: 5.5g | Fat: 17g

Equipment

• 2lb loaf tin
• 2lb loaf tin liner
• kitchen scale
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Ingredients

For the 'wet' mix

• 80 g (2.8 oz) unflavoured coconut oil, melted
• 4 large eggs
• 80 g (2.8 oz) soured cream
• 1/2 TB banana-flavoured essence

For the 'dry' mix

• 150 g (5.3 oz) almond flour
• 110 g (3.9 oz) powdered erythritol, confectioners
• 2 TB ground (milled) chia seeds
• 1/2 TB baking powder
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda, (baking soda)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan oven). This is 220°C for conventional ovens (or 425°F / gas mark 7) and line a 2lb loaf tin with a paper 2lb tin liner.
• Weigh out the odourless (unflavoured) coconut oil and melt in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly (as we are whisking it into eggs later and we do not want to cook parts of the egg).
  
• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl, along with the soured cream and banana essence. Once the coconut oil has cooled a little, whisk it into the egg mixture until well-emulsified.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the almond flour, Swerve, ground chia, baking powder and baking soda (also called bicarbonate of soda). This is what you should have ready:
  
• Pour the egg mixture into the dry mixture and mix well to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the lined loaf tin.
  
• Bake for 10 minutes on the lowest rack, then reduce the temperature to 150°C (fan) - this is 170°C for conventional ovens (or 340°F). Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean.

  I always rotate the tray after those first 10 minutes and often lay a sheet of foil over so the top doesn't darken too much.
• Remove and allow to cool on a cooling rack before slicing and enjoying with a thick slice of butter like we do!
  
• I have made this three times, and the time I decided to photograph it, the centre collapsed a little. In all honesty, I still do not know why, but the bread was cooked through safely and still absolutely delicious! It didn't bother me that much, and we need to remember that we do not have gluten to offer us any 'structural integrity' in loaves like this. I hope you love it anyway! xxx
