Helpful Recipe Tips
- Be careful with the banana extract. We can’t have banana’s on keto. Even a little bit has many carbs. But, going overboard with the extract will make your keto banana bread taste fake and artificial. There’s enough in the directions for a hint of banana that’s not overpowering.
- Why vanilla and banana extract? The vanilla helps because it brings the vanilla flavor but also helps curve any chemical taste that the banana extract may have with it.
How To Store
Keto banana bread can be frozen for later in an airtight container or vacuum sealed. However, you may want to leave it on the counter instead of the refrigerator but I advise storing the bread in the fridge. This will allow it to last well over a week instead of just 2-3 days on the countertop.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are bananas keto friendly?
Due to the high sugar content and starch bananas are no a OK food for keto. Which is why in this recipe extract is used carefully to give the best banana flavor possible.
Could I add ripe bananas to this recipe?
Yes you could but that will make it more paleo than keto friendly. If you were to use real bananas I’d say just add one or two ripe bananas to the existing recipe.
Can I use chocolate chips instead of walnuts?
Please customize the recipe to your liking. I believe in providing a solid base for any recipe that you are interested in. Chocolate chip banana bread sounds amazing and possible a new recipe!
How many carbs are in homemade banana bread?
Unlike this keto recipe with only 4g net carbs a slice with 7 slices a regular version would be way more than that. They add ripe bananas along with floured sugar which are all carbohydrates.

how much almond milk? you never added the amount in the recipe
I removed the almond milk and used butter instead. This was because the almond milk gave it a soggy-like texture that wasn’t very appealing. However, if you’d like it to be dairy free just swap them out 1:1
This is some delicious keto banana bread. I was skeptical because sometimes, the keto desserts aren’t so good. This though! My husband even loves it and he is picky!! I used HWC instead of the almond milk and it worked great. Love this!! Thank you 🙂
Hi Darius, I just loved your recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it. I’m planning to cook this for my family. However, I have a question: Can I use the ingredient “Xanthan Gum” in this recipe as recommended in this recipe [https://iketomom.com/keto-banana-bread/]?
Please let me know. Thank you, and I’m looking forward to your response!
You can use it if you’d like. In the past I would add xanthan gum to my baked goods but later removed it because the results weren’t close enough to the real thing if that makes sense. Xanthan gum is used to “try” to act as gluten but it’s far from an equal replacement.
