Banana Nut Bread Recipes

I re-worked my favorite high-fat, high-calorie, little-nutrition Banana Nut Bread recipe, and came up with a winner!

My mom was diagnosed with celiac disease about 8 years ago. We have looked everywhere for delicious recipes that substitute other products for gluten. i was fortunate to come upon this wonderful recipe, which uses only 2 unusual ingredients: GF flour and Xanthan Gum. Even though I CAN eat gluten, I still very much enjoy this delicious banana bread. It is best hot from the oven!

It is super moist, bursting with flavor, and you would never know it was GLUTEN FREE :)))

Plus, it is very low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat. It is fairly low carb for a banana bread and it also has 1 gram of sugar PER slice....and they are generous servings!

Use those extra-ripe bananas to make this hearty, mildly sweet quick bread.

Not sure where I got this recipe, but I've been using it for years now. Makes a moist and very yummy banana nut bread.

Most banana nut bread recipes make a dry bread. This recipe makes a moist bread. Makes 2 9-inch loaves.

Reader Recipe from FITSUGAR

"This is my Mom’s famous banana bread recipe. I think it originally came from the red-and-white-checkered Better Homes and Gardens recipe book that everyone who got married in the '70s has. This recipe is a bit updated with less sugar, more fiber, and an insane dose of heart-healthy omega-3s (flaxseed, walnuts, and chia seed gel). To make chia seed gel, mix chia seeds with water: one part seeds, nine parts water, and let sit for 30 minutes.

Learn how to make the recipe after the break!

Fear not if you’re short on chia gel — it’s not exactly mainstream, but definitely a worthy addition to your pantry. You can use virgin coconut oil instead, which gives it a really nice texture and flavor and adds a host of health benefits. This is a great breakfast bread or healthy after-school snack for the kiddos! Use organic ingredients when possible."

Very moist and flavorful

This banana bread is very moist, containing applesauce, cinnamon and nutmeg spices. Raisins and walnuts are optional

I just took the classic recipe and used some common sense healthy steps in making it.

This banana nut bread uses Splenda Sugar Blend and a combination of all purpose and whole wheat flours. The oil is rreduced by using applesauce.

Adapted Ines' favorite Banana Bread recipe by changing 2 eggs to 4 egg whites; and changing the sugar to Splenda; and changing out 1 cup of white flour to whole wheat flour. Ines always baked in her bunt cake pan. I used muffin pans and made 24 servings for portion control This recipe might have originated with the Purdue Extension office.
One muffin is about 20 grams of Carbohydrates = one diabetic carb.
