No-Sugar-Added Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil of your choice (or use applesauce if you have it! I didn’t have any, so used oil instead)
- 2 eggs or egg replacer
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour of your choice)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Steps
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Mash the bananas until they are mostly lump-free.
- With a hand mixer, beat together the banana, oil, eggs, vanilla, and water until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet one, beating well.
- Pour the batter into a gently oiled and floured 9×5 inch loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool completely on wire rack before slicing.
Enjoy!
Hello! Happy New Years! This looks great. I shall have to try a no sugar added banana loaf myself.
Thanks! Happy New Year!
Great recipe! I’m always looking for low sugar foods to try and I love the combination of bananas and cinnamon.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Looking forward to exploring yours as well. 🙂
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, gorgeous!! What an amazing looking loaf!!

xxoo
Thanks!! 😀 Happy New Year!
very nice…i liked ur recipe and just made it….thanks for no sugar added banana bread:-)
bless u.!
Thanks for the recipe! I was looking for a no-sugar added banana bread and this hit the spot brilliantly. I used 1 and 2/3 cups of self-rising flour and 1/3 cup of mixed rolled grains, used low-fat yogurt in place of water and added a teaspoon of applesauce. It came out beautifully – very moist but not dense and subtly banana-y. I was worried that it wouldn’t be sweet enough but it was just right, and perfect for breakfast. I’d definitely make this again!
Cool! Thanks for sharing your adaptation ~ it sounds wonderful! 😀
I made this today with apple sauce as I had no veg oil. It is horrible, not one of my boys would eat it including hub and it has just gone in the bin!
That comment wasn’t intended to be as sharp as it was, sorry. Maybe the apple sauce doesn’t work as well?
I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you! Maybe it was the brand of applesauce? I’ve used the kind that’s only apples, nothing else. Or maybe it just didn’t suit your taste, which is ok, too 🙂
I used coconut oil and flax eggs, and made muffins since apparently I don’t own a loaf pan. This is definitely my new go to banana bread/muffins! Not overly sweet but still delicious 🙂
Your modifications sound delish ~ thanks for sharing! 🙂
