Full Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1½ tsp banana extract (or ½ tsp for milder flavor)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Tools Needed
Suggested Substitutions
- Swap butter for coconut oil if you’re dairy-free.
- Replace erythritol with allulose for a smoother crumb and less cooling effect.
- For nut-free: try sunflower seed flour (but note it may turn green due to chlorophyll reaction!).
How to Make Keto Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat eggs and sweetener until fluffy.
- Add melted butter, almond milk, banana extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in nuts or chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing (this helps it firm up beautifully).
Poulef’s Tip: For a glossy top, brush the loaf with a touch of melted butter right after baking — it gives that irresistible bakery finish!
What to Serve with Keto Banana Bread
Serve warm with:
- A pat of butter or almond butter
- A drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup
- Or simply with your favorite morning coffee
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Use room temperature ingredients — this helps everything blend smoothly.
- Do not overmix — almond flour batters can get dense.
- Let it cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- Store in the fridge for best texture after day one!
Storage Instructions
- Room Temperature: Up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- Fridge: Up to 7 days.

Absolutely! Use coconut oil instead of butter.
