Sugar-free banana bread.

Sugar-free banana bread

Australians love their bananas, with banana bread being our most searched for recipe here at taste.com.au. We have banana bread recipes for every occasion and all dietary requirements, including this amazing sugar-free banana bread. Those unappetising black speckled over-ripe bananas in the fruit bowl actually contain loads of natural sugar and, when mixed with warm cinnamon and aromatic vanilla, provide ample sweetness to this one-bowl wonder. This clever sugar-free banana bread recipe uses a combination of oil and milk in the batter, which creates a perfect texture for the bread – with the oil adding flavour and moisture and the milk tenderising the flour. We also swap out half the white flour for wholemeal, which also works to keep the bread super tender. Throw in a handful of nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for good measure or cook as is, served with a lick of butter. Either way, this amazing banana bread is ideal for breakfast, brunch or a sugar-free snack. And, if you have any leftovers (unlikely!) try out this sticky date banana bread and butter pudding.
