Now that the weather has turned a bit cooler it makes the best time to turn on your oven and get baking! One of my favorite winter foods to make is banana bread!

Instead, I will use fruit and vegetables to sweeten my dishes naturally. After trying different variations I have found this is my best banana bread recipe.

Why You’ll Love This Banana Bread No Sugar
Here are reasons why you’ll love this banana bread (no added sugar) recipe:
- Easy
- No added sugar
- Packed with nutrition
- Gluten and dairy-free
- Delicious
With less than 10 ingredients this is an easy recipe for banana bread. It needs just a little prep and can be made in under an hour!
Store-bought products contain a lot of sugar. Often with 2 to 3 times the recommended intake for added sugar. Finding a preprepared healthy banana bread (no sugar) added can be difficult.
So instead, I will make my own healthier banana bread with no added sweeteners.
Just to let you know this is NOT a sugar-free recipe but is refined sugar-free banana bread. This means it has lost all the added sugar but not any of the flavor. The combination of very ripe bananas, carrots, and dried figs makes this easy healthy banana bread still taste sweet.
Often you cannot find any store-bought banana bread that is gluten or dairy free. In most typical food stores the gluten-free bakery section is minuscule or does not even exist.
Another thing that makes this banana bread (no sugar added) great is that it accommodates people with these food sensitivity issues. I just wanted to note there are eggs in this recipe. So If you’re vegan you will need to use a vegan substitute.

Here is a rundown of the ingredients used in this easy banana loaf recipe. You can get the specific ingredient list and instructions in the recipe card below:
- Ripe bananas
- Gluten-free flour
- Shredded carrots
- Dried figs
- Eggs
- Cinnamon
- Gluten-free baking powder
Ripe Bananas
How many bananas for banana bread depends on the level of sweetness want to make your recipe. The more bananas the sweeter your bread. I have found a better flavor when using a 3 bananas-bread recipe versus just two.
So you want to make sure the bananas are very ripe. A ripe banana will be soft and maybe even have a brown peel. They should be easily mashed.
If you want to lower your sugar content you can also use a softer yellow banana.
If your bananas aren’t ready yet. Check out the “How to Ripen Bananas“ section below on how to quickly ripen your bananas.
Jump to the “How To Ripen Bananas” Section Here
Gluten-Free Flour
I like using 1:1 gluten-free flour for baking. It’s an easy way to get the same amount of flour as regular recipes without having to add any additional flour to the recipe.
Carrots & Dried Figs
The addition of shredded carrots and dried figs adds natural sweetness to the bread without the need for any other added sweeteners.
Cinnamon & Baking Powder
Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices. I love adding it to my baked goods. The addition of this ingredient gives more of that sweet flavor. It also adds some additional nutrients.
Baking powder helps the bread to rise. Most of these brands contain gluten. This can be a problem if you have issues with gluten. So be sure to get one that is gluten-free.

Tips & Tricks to Make the Recipe Great
Here are some tips to help make your banana bread recipe without sugar added recipe great!
Using ripe bananas will make this recipe taste great. If you can’t find any ripe bananas in the store don’t worry here are tips on how to ripen bananas fast.
How To Ripen Bananas Quickly for Banana Bread
The riper the banana, the sweeter the banana bread no sugar added will taste. This means using a mushy banana. A banana with a brown or black peel is best.
So if you have some overly ripe bananas like these on hand you can skip this section and move down to other tips and tricks for making great banana bread.
Otherwise, if you need to learn how to ripen bananas for banana bread read on!
Normally banana bread is something you need to plan ahead for because you may not have ripe bananas on hand. However, there could be a time when you have a hankering for banana bread and need to manually ripen the bananas yourself.
Here are two ways to ripen bananas:
- Place in a paper bag
- Bake in the oven
In a large paper bag place the bananas. If you have other fruit that is already ripe like apples or avocados stick them in the bag too. The ripe produce will emit ethylene gas and enhance the ripening process. Fold the bag over and let sit for 24 to 36 hours.
You may be wondering, “How to ripen a banana quickly?” Use your oven. Set it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then place the bananas in their peel on a baking sheet. Cook the bananas for 5 minutes until they are browned.
Once ripened they are ready for use in your recipe!
How Ripe Is Too Ripe for Banana Bread
Bananas with peels that have turned black are still okay to use. However, if you’re wondering how ripe is too ripe a banana for banana bread. Southern Living magazine says a banana is bad if has a fermented or alcohol-like smell or the entire inside of the fruit is brown.
How to Make Bananas Last Longer
You want to make sure you have overly ripe bananas for this no-sugar banana bread. However, A banana can go from ripe to bad in just a week.
So while your bananas may be ready for bread you may not. This means there is the possibility of your bananas going rotten.
So what can you do to prevent this from happening?
If you notice your bananas are getting ripe and maybe at the point where they are starting to turn brown this is the best time to pop them in the freezer.
I like to freeze whole bananas if I know I’m not going to use them right away. Then when I’m ready to make banana bread The day before I will take out the frozen bananas and put them in my fridge so they are ready the next day to make banana
So if you bought some bananas but are not ready to make your banana bread yet just freeze them until you’re ready to make the recipe.
Save Time with Pre-Preped Carrot Shreds
If you don’t want to peel and shred your carrots check out the produce section of your grocery store to see if they carry shredded carrots.
Use A Potato Masher to Mash the Banana
A potato masher is a great tool to mash your ripened bananas into a liquid mixture. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients.
Use a 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour Substitute for the Best Results
For this recipe, I have used a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour substitute. This makes baking so much easier because you do not need to add a bunch of flour together.
You can find these types of flour on Amazon*, Vitacost*, and Thrive Market*.
*Some of these links are affiliate links, which means when you sign up or purchase from these links we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Learn more in our disclosure statement.
Properly Measure Your Flour to Get the Best Results
The way you measure your flour can make or break your recipe. I like to use a spoon to break and loosen the flour.
Next, fill the measuring cup until it is a little overflowing.
Then use the back of a spoon to pat it down.
Finally, you want to cut off the excess flour using a butter knife across the top of the measuring cup.
You may want to measure the flour over a large bowl so you don’t lose any flour on the counter. Then pour the excess flour back into the bag.
If the opening of the flour bag is wide enough you can also measure the flour over that bag.
Don’t Over Mix Your Batter
Overmixing the batter can affect the bread’s texture. Be sure not to mix it too much.
Grease Your Loaf Pan
Greasing the loaf pan is essential. This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
Olive, avocado, or coconut oil will work for greasing. I always hate getting the grease on my hand so I will pour a small amount into the pan and then use a napkin or paper towel to spread it around.
You can also use parchment paper* to prevent the bread from sticking to the dish. This will also make cleanup really easy. So if you have that on hand feel free to measure out a sheet of parchment paper.
Check The Bread Before You Take It Out of the Oven
The time you bake banana bread could vary depending on your oven. I would recommend cooking this for 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then check to see if it is golden brown.
You can also stick a butter knife or toothpick into the center of the bread. This will tell you if the inside is cooked. If the knife or toothpick comes out clean it is done.
If it’s still gooey inside cook for another 10 minutes and then do the toothpick test again. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes until the inside is fully cooked.
Don’t Slice Hot Bread
After the bread is cooked let it cool off completely (about 10 minutes) before you slice it.
Additions, Substitutions, and Variations of the Recipe
This section provides information on additions, substitutions, and variations of this banana loaf no-sugar recipe.
Additions for this Banana Bread (No Added Sugar) Recipe
Some recipes added chocolate chips for a little extra flavoring. A tablespoon or two of these can be mixed into the bread batter prior to pouring it into the bread pan.
If you are able to do dairy prior to putting the batter in the oven you can sprinkle regular chocolate chips on top of the bread. Otherwise, you may need to use gluten and dairy-free chips* to make chocolate chip banana bread.
Want to add a little crunch to your bread? Add in a cup of your favorite nuts like walnuts or pecans. Be sure they are chopped.
If you opt to add nuts mix them into the batter before you put it into the loaf pan.
**PLEASE NOTE that the addition of these ingredients will change the nutrient content of the recipe. There may be an increase in sugar, fat, protein, and carbs depending on the additional type of ingredients used.

How to Store the Recipe
If you don’t eat all your bread after making it, this recipe can be stored at room temperature, in the refrigerator or freezer.
Once the bread has cooled, I like to slice it so it is easier to eat once stored. Then place it in an airtight container* or tightly wrap it in plastic or aluminum foil.
If you are going to eat it within a few days you can leave it out on the counter. However, if you want it to last past 3 days then store it in the refrigerator. There it will be good for about 5 days up to a week.
If you know you will not eat it right away you can place it in the freezer. Be sure to wrap it in plastic and then put it in a freezer-safe container* or bag so it can stay fresh for up to three months.
You can also store the pieces individually to have easy access to one serving at a time. It will preserve the integrity of the whole bread.

Tips for Making This Low-Sugar Banana Bread Recipe
Read on for tips to make this low-sugar banana bread recipe
Use Very Ripe Bananas
The riper the banana, the sweeter the banana bread. If you can find ripe bananas in the store they will be ready in a day or two. Be mindful because bananas can ripen quite fast. Sometimes they can go bad in a week.
If you’re not ready to use your bananas put them in the freezer first.
Can’t Find Ripe Bananas? Use These Quick Ripening Methods
If you can’t find ripe bananas in the store use these quick ripening methods:
- Paper bag method
- Bake them in the oven.
The paper bag trick involves some time so this one you may need to plan ahead for this. Place your bananas in a paper bag and let them sit on the counter for up to a day and a half. You can also speed up the process by adding some already-ripened fruit.
After a day or so they should be ready to be made into bread.
If you need to make bread sooner than later you can use the oven to speed up the ripening process. Place the bananas on a baking sheet and place them in an oven set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes. They will be ready when you see them turn brown.
Once these bananas are ripened they are ready for use in your recipe!
Mash the Bananas with a Potato Masher
Easily mash your bananas into a puree with a potato masher*. This will ensure the bananas are easily mixed with the rest of the ingredients.
Use a 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Flour
In this recipe, I used a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute. I like these products because they make baking so much easier. There is no need for additional flour substitutes. Just measure out what you need and move on to the next ingredient.
You can find these types of flour on Amazon*, Vitacost*, and Thrive Market*.
Use A Spoon and Knife to Properly Measure Your Flour
Instead of scooping the flour with the measuring cup you want to use a spoon to fill it up. Once the measuring cup is overflowing with flour you want to cut off the excess at the top with a butter knife. This will give you exactly what amount of flour you need.
I recommend doing this over a large bowl so you don’t lose any excess flour on the counter. You can also do this over the opening of the bag of flour if it is big enough.
Grease or Add Parchment Paper to the Pan
This is necessary to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan. Any oil will do. Pour a small amount into the pan and then use a napkin to spread it around so the entire pan is greased.
Alternatively, you can also line the pan with parchment paper* to prevent sticking.
If you want an easy clean up parchment paper is also a good way to go.
Test For Doneness Before Taking the Bread Out of the Oven
Since ovens are all different the cooking times may vary. Cook the bread for 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once this cooking time is up, check to see if the bread is golden brown.
You also want to check to see if the inside is cooked as well. Take a butter knife or toothpick and stick it in the center of the bread. If it comes out clean the bread is done cooking.
If it’s still raw on the inside cook for another 10 minutes and then redo the toothpick test. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes until the bread is completely done.
Let the Bread Fully Cool Before Slicing
Be sure to let the bread fully cool before you cut into it. This should be about 10 minutes.
Additions, Substitutions, and Variations
Don’t have fresh bananas? No worries you can make banana bread with frozen bananas. Just let them thaw to room temperature before you mash them. Be sure to add the liquid left over from the defrosted bananas.
Want to turn this into banana nut bread? Add a cup of your favorite nuts.
Before you pour the batter into the loaf pan mix in a cup of chopped nuts. Or sprinkle them on top of the batter.
Are you a chocolate lover? Mix in a tablespoon of gluten and dairy-free chocolate chips* into the bread batter prior to pouring it into the bread pan. Or just sprinkle a few on top of the bread before you put it in the oven.
In place of dried figs, you can use the following:
- 4 prunes
- 1 ounce of raisins
- 1 ounce of dried apricots.
Do you want to make this vegan? Substitute cornstarch, flaxseed, chia seeds, or a store-bought egg replacement*.
A cornstarch egg (2) tablespoons cornstarch + (3) tablespoons water
A tapioca starch egg is (1) tablespoon tapioca starch + (3) tablespoons water
A flaxseed egg is (1) tablespoon flaxseed meal + (3) tablespoons water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
A chia seed egg is (1) tablespoon of chia seeds + (2.5) tablespoons of water. See the chia egg recipe here.
For 2 vegan eggs double these recipes.
If you want to lower the carb count in this recipe you can use
- Almond flour
- 2 bananas instead of 3
- 2 tsp of banana extract* instead of bananas
- Nix the carrots and figs
- A low-carb sweetener like monk fruit
How to Store and Reheat This Recipe
Let your bread cool, slice it, and then wrap it up for storage. You can wrap it as a whole loaf or you can wrap each piece individually in plastic or aluminum wrap.
Well-wrapped bread will stay fresh for 2 to 3 days on the counter. In the fridge, the banana bread will stay fresh for up to a week.
To freeze it place the plastic-wrapped banana bread in an air-tight container. You can freeze it for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat leftovers you may want to heat up your banana bread. If the bread is frozen you can place it in the fridge overnight to thaw.
Then heat it up in the toaster oven until it is lightly toasted. If you want a quick reheat you can throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
