There’s nothing like warm and comforting banana bread to turn your afternoon from average to pure perfection. If you’re trying to keep it lean, but are missing a spoonful of something special, then you’ve come to the right place. This low-sugar banana bread will hit all the right spots without a colossal calorie count.

This is also a great recipe for clearing out your cupboards. Got some bananas hanging around that are looking a little worse for wear? These make the perfect banana bread as they’re so much sweeter — ideal for a low-sugar banana bread recipe!

Cakes are known for their refined sugars, bad fats, and stodgy white flour, but this banana bread breaks all of those rules. The only fat comes from silky Coconut Oil, the sweetness is from the bananas and a squeeze of honey, and we even switched out your normal flour for whole-wheat bread flour.

Forget feeling unhealthy, you can dig into this low sugar banana bread practically guilt-free. At 200 calories a slice, it’s the perfect sweet and satiating snack. Don’t think the indulgence stops there either, as it’s got a healthy sprinkling of chocolate chips — keep these dark chocolate for a low-sugar loaf.
