I don't usually share recipes that are on the higher end of low carb, but this keto banana walnut bread is worth every carb and perfect for anyone that needs to add extra potassium to their diet. If you're not about that banana bread life, then try this super low carb keto zucchini nut bread!

My family has been living the keto lifestyle for just over a month now, and my youngest daughter started having tummy troubles about three weeks in. After lots of research, I realized that she most likely needed additional potassium and magnesium, so this recipe was an easy way to give her potassium with more fiber than a banana alone.
While I don't think children should hold to as strict a diet as adults, I also know that giving my children straight bananas leads to increased hunger only minutes after they've eaten. We allow our children all fruits with the exception of a few (like pineapples) but I try to include them in foods I cook as often as possible.
I have attained my goal weight, so I did enjoy eating this bread as well and didn't seem to notice the "mind hunger" I normally experienced pre-keto. I was the type of person that would eat a banana or a bowl of cereal and feel hungry all day long afterward so up until this point I had avoided bananas like the plague.
I think I am finally at a point where I can add certain natural foods back into my diet without adverse effects. I do however still keep my carbs below 50 grams a day (usually 20).

You can have bananas but you really just need to pay attention to how your body responds. When I was eating crap before keto I could eat a banana and I would crave sweets all day. Once I got my blood sugar back on track with keto I can now eat a banana and I am fine. Just pay attention to how your body reacts. If it causes you to crave sweets, avoid them until you get your body to a healthy weight and your hormones are normal again.
I tried this recipe it cAme out perfect it was delish. I made mini cupcakes instead didn't last an hour . Can you post keto easy cheesecake or red velvet cake recipe that is also keto or low carb . The person who said it didn't come out good u did something wrong . Try again
I couldn't justify all the carbs so I tweeked the recipie just a bit. I used only one small banana. Added an extra egg. Used butter instead of olive oil. Added 2 tsp erythritol/stevia blend. And a little splash of unsweetened almond milk for consistency. I also added a tsp xantham gum. That's all. Lol. OK, so I pretty much changed the whole recipe. But it was a good base to work with. 🙂 And its was delish! And much lower in carbs! Thanks!
So I followed this recipe precisely...all I have to say is that your picture is very misleading. Your picture is that of non-keto, all-purpose flour type banana nut bread. Although the exterior looked very promising, the interior of the loaf is more so like a banana pancake. And yes it was fully cooked even to the hour. Taste-wise it's fine, but what you claim visually is not the end result.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I am not a great photographer, nor do I try to be but what you see is what I got. I would never try to mislead someone with fake food or fake pictures.
I made this recipe and it looked exactly like the picture she posted (was super delicious too). Maybe you did something wrong? Or used different almond meal etc as they are not all alike.
I made this and it looked much like yours. I added a few chocolate chips since I'm only low carb and not keto. I would add some salt next time. Thanks for the recipe.
I have made the keto banana bread yesterday and it looks just like the one on the picture (added pine nuts and pieces of dry plums as I was not looking so much for keto, rather a lower carb). I really liked the taste and texture and it was even appreciated by my colleagues who never heard about keto. Thank you!
This is an amazing keto bread recipe!!! I would love to feature this Banana Walnut Keto bread in our website Greenthickies. I will not be posting the actual recipe, but will only use on of these images, title, a small quote and link directly back here. Would that be okay?
Bananas are definitely NOT a keto-approved food. The fact that you mislead others and pass incorrect information is a little concerning. Keto is not an "if it fits your macros" way of eating. Look up any keto foot list and you'll see that bananas aren't a part of it.
Jen, thanks for stopping by! This is a recipe for kids! Kids on keto don't need to be as strict as adults. I hope you have a wonderful day! I will also add that I can eat bananas and stay in ketosis after being keto-adapted. Keto is not as rigid as it may seem after your body adapts!
Don’t get so upset. There are no laws for keto - only guidelines. Some people can eat quite a few carbs and still lose weight. Instead of worrying so much about criticism and rules focus more on kindness and support of others your life. Namaste
Um....a slice is 2 carbs. Totally allowed on keto. It is not the food item that counts, it is the carb amount. Now, if you are going to eat the whole thing - yes it is too many carbs.
I don’t care about the carb count and love the fact this contains healthy wholesome ingredients! I did add a 1/4 cup powdered Erythritol to make it sweeter. I cooked it over an hour and it still doesn’t seem long enough because the inside was very wet though the outside was nearly burnt! It tastes good but is more like rice pudding in texture totally falling apart and wet. Your picture makes me wonder how you got it to look like bread and didn’t burn it?
Sounds like your oven temp was way too hot. Do you have a fan forced oven? If so then the temp should be at least 20deg cooler...that could be why it burnt on the outside and was not cooked in the middle.
Thanks! I'm not really on Keto diet. But I have auto-immune disease, and have to avoid inflammation triggers, plus I don't do refined sugars. These recipes are so welcome!
I made this recipe and it looks exactly like the picture. I used two bananas instead of three. It was delicious and helps with the cravings. Thank you.
Just made this banana bread for my husband and son since I'm on strict keto while I figure out what, if anything, I can eventually put back into my diet. Regardless, enthusiastic head bobbing and thumbs upping by all! Super easy! I used avocado oil and a handful of sunflower seeds. Thank you! No more bananas in the trash... yeah!,
I've been doing keto for over 3 years and will always be on it,I did it not to lose weight even though I did,i basically did it to "feel" better! Now I have my energy level up and not tired like before,I will try this due to banana bread used to be my fav! when I do eat carbs or sweet I stay in keto but I do feel "tired or need a nap" depending on what I eat and do that once or twice a month. I just listen to my body,find what works for you and it will be easy to follow and for the haters on here,why? I'm not sure why anyone would take precious time just to be mean...ick. thank you for the recipe!
KETO BAKING...Nuts go into the frosting NOT the batter to get batter to RISE...Lemon Seltzer water, Irish Moss when using Baking Soda then let it be Baking Soda (Aluminum-Free) no Brown Sugar instead use Stevia Extract better yet use Original Better Stevia as a sweetener or Pure Apple Sauce last but not least carob powder as a sweetener. USE one or the other but NOT together. HAPPY BAKING!
I made this in a double recipe, using avocado oil and adding chia seeds. This is really a good snack or even a breakfast. It is very satisfying. Turned out beautifully. Thanks for the recipe
Thanks for the recipe! I haven’t made it yet but have two bananas that have be used or trashed. Yours is the only keto recipe I found that didn’t have a bunch of ingredients I’d have to buy.
Also thanks for being so kind to people leaving mean comments and judging the net carbs if your recipe or being all rulistic. We all need to find our own plan that works for us.
Bet none of them are at their goal weight like you are.

Very high net carbs per slice to be considered keto
Kitty
There are way better ways to get your potassium in. At 11 net carbs, this is not worth being potentially kicked out of ketosis.
Ketokitten
A perfect recipe! Brilliant, thanks so much for publishing this. Much appreciated!

Can the banana loaf be put in the freezer? Great cake by the way!

I put mine in the freezer all the time after it cools (wrap in foil)

Of course! Just make sure you log the correct oil for nutritional changes.
