Tips for Perfect Low-Carb Banana Bread
Ripe Bananas: Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.
Sugar-Free Sweetener: Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste preference. Taste the batter before baking and adjust sweetness if needed.
Storage: Store leftover banana bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use Frozen Bananas?
Thaw frozen bananas completely and drain any excess liquid before mashing. Frozen bananas will add moisture to the bread, so adjust baking time if needed.
Can I Substitute Almond Flour?
Almond flour provides a moist texture and nutty flavor. You can try using coconut flour, but you may need to adjust the amount and add more liquid.
