Here’s how to make keto banana bread, as well as a few options and add-ins for customizing your banana bread to suit your tastes.

The Secret to Low-Carb Banana Bread

Banana bread is usually high in carbs, thanks to sugar, maple syrup, refined flour — and, of course, the bananas.

A single medium banana has about 24 grams of carbs and 14 grams of sugar, and most banana bread recipes call for several bananas. The fruit alone is enough to kick you out of ketosis.

So how do you make sugar-free banana bread if you can’t use bananas?

The answer is banana extract — an all-natural way to add banana flavor without any carbs or sugar.
