Can I make peanut butter banana bread without eggs?

Yes, you can! For an egg-free version, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg). However, texture may be slightly denser. For those who prefer lighter versions, using just egg whites works great too and still keeps the bread moist.

Is peanut butter banana bread keto-friendly?

Traditional banana bread isn’t keto-friendly because of the flour and sugar. But this version uses almond flour, natural peanut butter, and a keto sweetener, making it a great option for the keto diet. Stick to one slice, as bananas still have some carbs.

Can I add protein powder to this banana bread recipe?

Absolutely. To turn it into a protein packed banana bread, add one scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder. It works well in this protein loaf recipe and makes it perfect for high protein quick bread lovers or post-workout snacks.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add peanut butter, eggs (or egg whites), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener.
Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients gently until just mixed.
If using, stir in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
For a lighter loaf, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
Freeze slices individually for easy snacks later.
Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor if desired.
