It’s a fairly low calorie banana bread. There is less sugar in this banana bread recipe than traditional banana bread recipes. The bonus is that ripe bananas will have a good amount of sweetness to add to the flavor of the bread. There is also very little fat in this skinny banana bread recipe- only one tablespoon of oil! Buttermilk will have a little bit of fat in it as well, but not nearly as much as a classic buttermilk banana bread recipe.

Cinnamon Peach Banana Bread

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light, about 5 minutes. Mix in the bananas, buttermilk, oil and vanilla.

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; beat just until blended. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake the bread until golden brown on top and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and cool to room temperature.

Keep the baked bread in an airtight container, and eat within a few days. Alternately, you can freeze the whole loaf of banana bread. Wrap banana bread in plastic wrap. Then wrap the loaf in aluminum foil too. And then drop the wrapped bread into a large freezer zip baggie. Freeze for up to three months. Alternately, you can wrap individual slices, wrap them in the same manner and freeze. Then it’s easy to take out one slice to enjoy when the craving strikes!

I think slices of banana bread are most delicious when warmed up a little. It’s also delicious with a some butter or peanut butter slathered on top… but then you’re making it not so healthy, so that’s up to you! Enjoy!

Simple Low Fat Walnut Banana Bread

Everyone should have a healthy banana bread recipe in their back pocket–if for no other reason than to put those slightly imperfect bananas your kids won’t touch to use, or to clear out the abundance of overripe bananas hiding in the back of the freezer.

I’ve been making a version of this No Added Sugar Banana Bread for years. In fact, I’ve been making it so long my original recipe lives on a completely different blog that I ever-so-gradually abandoned after having our first baby. Hah!

Well, I recently revamped the recipe — streamlined a few steps, adjusted the leavening, tweaked the sweetness — and let me tell you, this is by far the best version yet!

Behold, Healthy No Added Sugar Banana Bread. Here it’s pictured with walnuts because… God forbid I put a No Added Sugar Banana Bread on the internet with chocolate chips. 🤯

Semi-sweet chocolate chips. Sure that sort of negates the ‘no added sugar’ aspect but chocolate chip mix-ins are just how we roll around here. Even

Bananas. Overripe bananas actually have more fructose (sugar) than the lesser ripe ones we all love to eat which makes them perfect for baking.

Healthy Banana Bread With Dates And Walnuts

Yes, absolutely! In fact, I rarely have 7-8 overripe bananas at the same time so I typically use ones that I’ve frozen over the course of several weeks.

To freeze bananas, place peeled bananas in an airtight freezer bag and remove as much air as possible before freezing. Frozen bananas can last up to 6 months, maybe longer. 

To make banana bread with frozen bananas, let them defrost completely in a freezer bag or bowl and come to room temperature before mashing (with the liquid). This is incredibly important. Your bread won’t cook through if the batter is cold.

Healthy No Added Sugar Banana Bread

I was skeptical. I have a banana bread recipe I’m obsessed with. It’s better than Starbucks’ and when I make it with walnuts its better than any cake on the block! I don’t brag about many things, but that recipe will blow you away! But with the new year, I wanted to make some Skinny Banana Bread with the brown bananas on my counter calling my name. So I made this low fat and low sugar recipe! I wasshocked by how good it was! I mean, I guess it makes sense because the bananas keep the bread from getting dry.

This recipe doesn’t have much sugar in it. Usually banana bread has a ton, but I scaled it way back to keep it as healthy as possible. You won’t notice the fat being gone but you will notice it’s less sweet. It didn’t bother me at all but if you ever want some more sweetness after you bake it you can add a drizzle of honey! I liked the less sweet version because I had a slice of banana bread and some greek yogurt for breakfast and it was a great way to start out my day. Usually I eat banana bread and feel a little guilty…like I’m eating cake! But this Skinny Banana Bread is guilt free!

As with any quick bread, the number one tip is to not over mix! If a recipe ever calls to add in chocolate chips, nuts, blueberries or anything at the end, always add it in before you’re finished mixing in the previous ingredient. For example, don’t wait to completely mix in your dry ingredients with your wet and then add in your walnuts and stir them in… that makes for more mixing than you need! Add in the walnuts when the dry ingredients are 75% mixed in! The more you stir, the tougher your bread will be, that’s why recipes and us bloggers always warn you about over mixing.

My next tip is about the bananas… make sure you’re ripe! The flavor changes as they ripen and those yellow peels with the brown marks make for the sweetest banana bread! If I have some bananas and I know I want to make bread in a few days, I’ll place them in brown paper bags to help speed up the process!

I hope you enjoy my Skinny Banana Bread as much as I did! It’s a healthier version of one of my favorite things to make and I looooooved eating it. Though my husband stole the last 2 slices!! I guess I’ll just have
