This keto recipe is for banana bread muffins. I am on a keto lifestyle and I have to tell you that hot banana bread with butter is one of the things I missed the most. So I set out to find the best banana bread recipe I could. I believe I have made these muffins as close as possible to the real deal. You can also make this in a loaf pan, but I wanted (needed) to portion control myself. Each muffin is 6.5 which is quite high if you are strict keto, but it’s easy to work it in on special days. Keep in mind that a slice of normal banana bread has a whopping 30+grams of sugar in it.
I did not add any sweeteners to my bread as I am strict keto and the banana and coconut flour made this sweet enough for me. You could add 1/2 cup of sweetener but you will need to add that to the final carb count as that is NOT calculated below. These freeze really well too. The are best eaten warm, so microwave them for 30 seconds before eating. Add a smear of butter too.
These are great for sneaky keto snacks to take to someones house, my kids loved these as much as I did. No one would even know.

Thanks for the recipe. My bananas always get too ripe and now I have something to use them in besides no sugar ice cream. 🙂
When you say 3 eggs, is that just the whites?
3 full eggs and two yolks
What’s the nutritional facts?
just made these. NO SWEETENER AT ALL. and they are just fine. I did add raisins and a few walnuts. THESE ARE A KEEPER.
Could these be made with only almond flour?
