What You Will Need
- Loaf Pan – 1 standard sized loaf pan to bake your banana bread in. Spray it with a little bit of non-stick spray.
- Oat Flour – 1 3/4 cups of oat flour. I have not tried this recipe with almond flour, but I know some people who have and they said it turned out great!
- Bananas – 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed. Be sure that they are pretty ripe because that will determine how sweet your coffee cake is!
- Greek Yogurt – 1/2 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt. This is the key ingredient to getting the most moist & fluffy cake!
- Unsweetened Applesauce – 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Make sure it is unsweetened!
- Eggs– This is what helps makes the cake super fluffy and contributes to the protein content. You will need 2 eggs.
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Granulated Sugar Substitute– I used 3/4 cup of granular Swerve, which is my go-to when it comes to sugar alternatives. Swerve is a zero-calorie, low-glycemic sweetener that measures cup-for-cup to sugar. It’s completely safe and natural, with no artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors. It is safe for diabetics and Keto approved. You can purchase Swerve off of Amazon here.
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Baking Soda – 1 teaspoon, to make the bread rise
- Cinnamon – 1 teaspoon, for flavor
- Nutmeg – 1/4 tsp, for flavor.
- Brown Sugar Substitute – This is optional, but I used brown Swerve and cinnamon to sprinkle on top before baking.
How To Make It
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, applesauce, swerve, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully incorporated.
- Add in the oat flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix!
- Pour into loaf pan. Top with additional cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar swerve substitute if desired (highly recommended).
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until top is browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before slicing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 days for ultimate freshness, or in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days.
How To Store
Store your Banana Bread Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 days for ultimate freshness, or in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days. I have not tried freezing this bread because it never lasts me that long haha, but I am sure it would freeze just fine!
Do You Eat Banana Bread Warm or Cold?
These are honestly amazing both ways. Personally, I like to warm them up a little in the microwave, but they are great both ways!

User Reviews
Can I sub extra Greek yogurt for the applesauce?
This is a Greek yogurt banana bread recipe, but yes you can use applesauce as a Greek yogurt substitute. It will change the flavor some.
Different brands of monk fruit can have different levels of sweetness so always add it as you go 🙂
