Can you make keto banana bread without bananas?

Yes! This recipe uses banana extract instead of real bananas to keep the carbs low while still giving it that classic banana bread flavor. No sugar, no fruit—just taste.

Is coconut flour better than almond flour for keto bread?

Coconut flour is nut-free and more absorbent, so you use less of it. It gives the bread a soft texture and works well if you're avoiding almonds or want fewer calories per slice.

How do you keep coconut flour banana bread from being dry?

Coconut flour soaks up moisture fast, so this recipe uses extra eggs and melted butter to keep it soft. Letting the batter rest before baking also helps the texture stay just right.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs.
Add melted butter, sweetener, banana extract, and vanilla. Mix well.
Sift in coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until smooth.
Let batter sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
Fold in any optional add-ins.
Pour into pan and smooth the top.

Notes

Use banana extract, not real banana—this keeps it keto.
Tastes even better the next day after chilling in the fridge.
Store in the fridge for 5–7 days or freeze in slices.
