banana apple bread

I had so many ripe bananas that were on the brink of going bad, this was the perfect way to transform them! This bread is super beautiful and moist. It has no added sugars, plus it’s lactose & gluten free  – if you use gluten free oats, or you can just substitute them with more almond meal. This amazing bread was created by Happy Healthy Gigi.

  1. I like the helpful information you provide for your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and take a look at again right here regularly. I’m somewhat sure I will be informed many new stuff right right here! Good luck for the next!

    1. Adrielle, We’ll be adding as soon as possible. This recipes was submitted by a guest food blogger. Thanks!

  2. I would love to know which brand of stevia you bake with as I know that some brands have a very bitter taste which can then permeate the entire dish! Many thanks!

    1. Leslie, Just make sure it says for baking on what you purchase. This brand is good: NuNaturals Morefiber Stevia Baking Blend Powder.

    1. Julie, Hmmmmm…I’m not totally sure. If you’re plan is to use gluten free flour, I would recommend being sure you have the right amount of protein.

  3. I'm fairly certain the difference would be textural as almond flour is blanched skinless almonds and almond meal is ground almonds with the skin on so it is a bit coarser texture. I have interchanged them in other recipes and really don't notice a difference.

    1. Jennifer, I’m not sure if steel cut oats would work. You could try substituting with old-fasioned oats.

    2. You can, though the bread may be chewier. Old Fashioned Oats ground in a blender are a closer substitute.

    1. Paula, Soy, coconut or regular milk in place of almond milk. For the almond meal, use sunflower seeds and grind into a meal consistency. Use a 1:1 ratio. Caution: make sure the sunflower seeds have no trace nuts when packaged.

    1. Christine, Sure! Instead of 1 T. stevia for the apple ingredients, I would use about 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar or honey. In the batter, use about 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar. After adding the sugar, taste the batter for sweetness. If you think more sweetness is needed, add another 1/4 cup. Hope this helps!

    1. Regina, We’re adding nutritional data to all recipes and will get to this one soon. Yes, you can use honey.

  4. sweeteners are chemicals….. very disappointed! definitely not a healthy recipe. US uses sweeteners in so many things and yet its the most obese country!

  5. Hi Skinny Ms.. the nutritional value says it makes 1 loaf and serving size is for 2 slices but from that loaf how many servings do you get? I want to make sure I am dividing the loaf up correctly so the calorie count is correct for my servings.. Thank you!

  6. Hi there, my husband has a severe nut allergy so can I switch the almond meal with rice milk or coconut milk? Also, with the almond meal can I use Flax meal instead? I really want to make this for my husband so Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon 🙂

    1. Kelly O, Yes, you can switch almond milk with rice milk or coconut milk. Coconut milk from the carton or lite coconut milk from the can would both be good options. Yes you can use flax meal instead of the almond meal. You could also use coconut flour instead of the almond meal. Just be aware that when substituting flours in baking, textural changes can happen, such as a denser or lighter outcome. Let us know it goes!

  7. Love this recipe! It is my absolute favourite- I've made it a few times now and like to freeze it in individually wrapped slices (as it freezes really well!), and take it to uni as a healthy snack 🙂

    1. Chris, Using applesauce in addition to bananas, could add too much moisture. In this recipe https://skinnyms.com/grandmas-applesauce-spice-cake/ I used applesauce, which worked well but didn’t use bnananas. I would recommend using half applesauce and half of the banana amount recommended. Let us know if you make this recipe and your thoughts. 🙂

    1. Aurelie, Hmmmm…you could try replacing the almond meal and oat flour with all almond flour. If you do, you probably should use an egg extra yolk. Another idea would be to use GF oat flour instead of oat bran. 🙂
