Keto Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread That Tastes Like Dessert

Let’s be honest, banana bread is the kind of thing that brings up childhood memories. It smells like home. It’s cozy, warm, and it’s got that soft, sweet bite that makes you want to go back for another slice. But if you’re eating low carb or on a keto diet, traditional banana bread might as well be cake made of sugar and sadness.

So here’s the fix: a banana-style sweet bread that still feels like comfort food but keeps your macros clean. It’s keto cinnamon roll bread meets banana bread. A little crunchy on top, super moist inside, and full of that cinnamon swirl magic. You’re getting the best keto bread with none of the blood sugar spikes.

No weird ingredients. No fake banana flavors. And yes, there’s a crunchy cinnamon streusel on top, because life’s too short for boring food.

What Makes This Keto Banana Bread Different?

This isn’t just another banana bread knock-off. It’s like a mashup of everything good: cinnamon roll keto, soft sweet bread, with a little banana recipes flair, and that dreamy cinnamon crunch topping you usually only get in bakery stuff.

We’re keeping it low-carb, high flavor. Each slice gives you that cinnamon roll bread vibe, without the guilt trip. No sugar, no wheat flour, and no fake banana flavor either. Instead, we’re using real spices and a banana extract that tricks your brain into thinking there’s banana in there—but nope. Still keto.

And the best part? You can eat this for breakfast, or turn it into one of your go-to dessert bread options. Add a spoon of healthy Greek yogurt on top or have it plain. Either way, it hits just right.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need for the bread and the streusel:

For the Banana Bread:

• 1½ cups almond flour

• ¼ cup coconut flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• ½ cup erythritol or any keto-friendly sweetener

• 4 large eggs

• ⅓ cup melted butter (or coconut oil if you want it dairy-free)

• ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk

• 2 teaspoons banana extract (this is the game-changer)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

• ¼ cup almond flour

• 2 tablespoons erythritol

• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

• 1½ teaspoons cinnamon

That’s it. Everything should be easy to find at a regular grocery store. No weird powders or expensive stuff you’ll use once then forget.

How to Make Keto Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread

This bread is like a low-key project. Nothing too wild. Here’s how it goes:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Get your oven going at 350°F (175°C). Grease up a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. That way, you won’t have to pry the bread out later.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

Grab a large bowl and toss in almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sweetener. Mix it with a fork or whisk until it looks like sandy crumbs.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add melted butter, almond milk, banana extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until it’s all blended.

Pour the wet mix into the dry and stir until it’s smooth. The batter should be thick, but pourable. If it’s looking dry, add a splash more almond milk.

Step 4: Make the Streusel

In a small bowl, combine almond flour, cinnamon, sweetener, and softened butter. Use your fingers or a fork to mash it together until crumbly.

Step 5: Layer the Batter and Streusel

Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half the streusel. Then pour the rest of the batter over it. Top with the remaining streusel. You can swirl it a bit with a knife if you want that marbled effect.

Step 6: Bake It

Bake for 45–55 minutes. Start checking around the 45-minute mark. If a toothpick comes out clean (with maybe a crumb or two), you’re good. Let it cool before slicing. The wait is painful, but worth it.

Why This Is the Best Keto Bread for Sweet Cravings

You ever try a keto bread and it tastes like sadness and coconut oil? Yeah, not this one. This is banana bread that thinks it’s a cinnamon roll. Moist, tender, and with that golden cinnamon top that gives you bakery vibes.

It also keeps your hunger down. That’s thanks to the almond flour and eggs—packed with protein and healthy fat. No crash later.

It works great for breakfast with coffee, or even as postre keto (yep, dessert in Spanish). Want to get fancy? Slice it and toast it, add a dollop of healthy Greek yogurt and a couple raspberries for that dessert aux fruits look. Boom. Brunch-worthy.

Make this Keto Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread Your Own

 Feedback From those who made this 

I gave a few slices to my neighbor, who eats carbs like it’s a sport. She took a bite and said, “You sure this is low carb?” Then she ate another slice. And another. She didn’t know what keto brood meant, but she asked for the recipe.
