Keto Banana Walnut Bread – Great for kids!

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.

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).

    • Teena, 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.

  3. There are way better ways to get your potassium in. At 11 net carbs, this is not worth being potentially kicked out of ketosis.

  5. 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!

  7. 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.
