My all time favorite recipe is Janet's Rich Banana Bread. I have been making that recipe for my family for many years and I could make it without the recipe because I have made it so much! If you're ever looking for a non keto banana bread recipe, that is the one to try. So when I wanted to make a keto and low carb version, I knew I had to use it as my inspiration.

In that recipe they used sour cream combined with baking soda to provide leavening, along with eggs. That has been my inspiration for all of my keto baked goods that use Greek Yogurt, including this keto banana bread. The sour cream (or Greek Yogurt) act as an acid and the baking soda reacts to make the bread rise. I have used this method for my Keto chocolate chip muffins, keto chocolate cupcakes, and my crispy keto waffles.

Ingredients needed

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this keto banana bread recipe, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For the printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

banana bread ingredients

2 ½ cups almond flour - I always use almond flour for my baked goods but you can also use coconut flour! For a coconut flour low carb banana bread, use 1 cup of coconut flour in place of the almond flour and then add an extra egg.

¾ cup granular sweetener - My favorite low carb friendly sweetener is classic Lakanto. It has the best taste, in my opinion. You could also use any granulated sweetener that is a 1 for 1 substitute for sugar.

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoons kosher salt

3 large eggs, beaten

8 ounces Plain, fat free Greek Yogurt - you could also use 2% or full fat Greek Yogurt or even sour cream. Just know, these swaps will increase the calories and possibly the carb count.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 teaspoons banana extract - I have found banana extract quite easily on Amazon.

½ cup chopped walnuts - nuts are an optional addition but I love the crunch they add.

How to make keto banana bread

This section explains how to make this low carb banana bread recipe step by step. For a full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray the inside of a standard loaf pan with cooking spray. 

In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt and sweetener. Next, stir in your eggs, greek yogurt, vanilla and banana extract. Finally, fold in your chopped walnuts.

Step 2 - Pour your keto banana bread mix into your already sprayed loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!

Tips for the best keto banana bread

  • Spray your loaf pan really well with cooking spray. If you don't need your bread to be gluten free, you could use a product called Baker's Joy. This will guarantee the the keto banana bread releases from the pan.
  • If your bread starts to get too brown before it is finished cooking in the center, carefully top the bread with a sheet of foil to prevent further browning.
  • Let the bread cool completely in the loaf pan for easier cutting.

Low carb banana bread storage instructions

  • Store: Leto cool completely and keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week after baking.
  • Freeze: This low carb banana bread freezes really well. You can wrap the entire loaf, a partial loaf, or individual slices in plastic wrap and then store in an airtight container. Keep frozen for up to 3 months.

    These came out great! I used sour cream as I didn’t have plain Greek yogurt. Really good!
