Easiest Low Carb Banana Bread Recipe - SCD

Let’s dive into how you can make this delectable treat that fits into your Specific Carbohydrate Diet, Paleo, and Gluten-Free lifestyle.

Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1 package of raisins (1/4 cup)
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix all ingredients in a mixer. If you prefer a good upper body workout, use a spoon to mix the ingredients by hand.
  3. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Depending on your baking dish, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly, but be careful not to overcook to prevent dryness.
  4. Cool and enjoy your homemade low-carb banana bread.

Tips for the Best Low Carb Banana Bread

  • Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, your bread is done.
  • Cool completely: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice.

Why This Recipe is Guilt-Free

This low-carb banana bread is packed with ingredients that cater to various dietary needs, including the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), Paleo, and Gluten-Free diets. Coconut flour provides a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat flour, and using honey instead of sugar keeps this bread free from refined sugars. Plus, the natural sweetness from the bananas and raisins means you won’t miss the extra sugar.

Versatility in the Kitchen

I love experimenting in the kitchen and creating recipes that fit into my dietary preferences. This low-carb banana bread is a staple in my house, especially when I’m craving something sweet but want to stay on track with my health goals.

  • Perfect for Breakfast: Enjoy a slice with your morning coffee.
  • Great for Snacks: Spread some all-natural peanut butter on top for a protein-packed snack.
  • Dessert Option: Add a scoop of your favorite low-carb ice cream for a guilt-free dessert.

This looks super yummy. I have some ripe bananas that need to be used ASAP. Maybe I’ll run out to the store to get some coconut flour and try this out.
