I brought this Flourless Banana Bread (No Added Sugar!) to my grandma once…

She gave me that look.

“Banana bread without flour? Impossible.”

She took one bite.
Paused.
Smiled.
And then quietly said, “Write this down for me.”

That’s when I knew this recipe was special.

This banana bread is soft, moist, naturally sweet from ripe bananas, and made without flour or added sugar. No white sugar. No brown sugar. No honey. No maple syrup.

Just simple, wholesome ingredients that come together into something surprisingly delicious.

If you’ve ever wanted a healthier banana bread that still tastes like the real thing — this is it.

How This Banana Bread Works Without Flour

• Eggs for structure
• Bananas for moisture and sweetness

The result?

A tender loaf with a soft crumb and lightly caramelized edges.

Full Ingredient List (Makes 1 Loaf – 8–10 Slices)

PIN IT

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups rolled oats (or 1 ¼ cups oat flour)
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or unsweetened dairy-free yogurt)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Ingredient Tips for Best Results

Use VERY Ripe Bananas

This is key. The darker the bananas, the sweeter the bread.

Blend Oats Finely

If using rolled oats, blend into fine flour for smoother texture.

Don’t Skip Eggs

They provide structure since there’s no flour.

Step-by-Step Instructions

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Blend the Batter

In a blender or food processor, combine:

• Bananas
• Eggs
• Oats
• Greek yogurt
• Vanilla
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Salt

Blend until smooth.

Batter will be slightly thick.

Step 3: Add Mix-Ins (Optional)

If adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in after blending.

Step 4: Bake

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Smooth top.

Bake for 35–45 minutes.

Top should be golden and center set.

A toothpick should come out clean.

Step 5: Cool Completely

Let cool in pan 10 minutes.

Transfer to rack and cool fully before slicing.

This helps it firm up properly.

Common Questions

Is this really sweet without sugar?
Yes — if your bananas are ripe enough.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes, use dairy-free yogurt.

Can I make it vegan?
Replace eggs with flax eggs (texture will be slightly denser).

Can I use almond flour instead?
That changes the structure — oats work best here.
