Is banana bread keto-friendly with Greek yogurt?

Traditional banana bread is usually high in carbs and sugar, but this keto version uses almond and coconut flours, Greek yogurt, and monk fruit sweetener. It keeps carbs low while adding protein and moisture, making it keto-compatible in moderation.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt in banana bread for a dairy-free option?

Yes! Coconut yogurt works well as a dairy-free alternative. It keeps the bread moist and adds a subtle tropical flavor, though the texture might be slightly different.

How do I store keto banana bread to keep it fresh?

Wrap the bread tightly and store it in the fridge for up to a week. You can also slice and freeze individual pieces for quick snacks—just microwave or toast directly from frozen.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment.
Mash bananas with a fork until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients gently. Add optional nuts, oats, or chocolate chips if using.
Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick (should come out clean).

For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
For egg-free, use chia or flax eggs (1 tbsp chia/flax + 3 tbsp water per egg).
Add protein powder to boost protein; reduce almond flour slightly.
