When I have overripe bananas sitting on my counter, this is always the recipe I run to. This healthy refined sugar-free banana bread is incredibly moist, perfectly sweet, and made with better-for-you ingredients honestly, it disappears within a day every time.

I’ve become more mindful about the ingredients I use especially when it comes to sugar. I’m not about restriction, but I do love finding ways to enjoy my favorite recipes with more balanced, wholesome swaps.

That’s exactly how this banana bread came to life. By using allulose and coconut sugar instead of traditional refined sugars, I still get that perfect sweetness and texture, but in a way that feels a little more aligned with how I like to eat. And with the addition of Greek yogurt? The texture is next level soft, moist, and bakery-worthy every single time.

What you’ll need for this recipe:

Bananas: The star of the show! Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and help create that soft, tender crumb we all love in banana bread.
Allulose + Coconut Sugar: I love using allulose instead of white sugar and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar for a more balanced sweetness. Allulose gives that classic sugar texture without the spike, while coconut sugar adds a subtle caramel-like depth.
Greek Yogurt: This is the secret to next-level banana bread. It adds moisture, richness, and a slight tang that balances the sweetness beautifully.
Butter: Adds richness and that classic banana bread flavor we all expect.
Cinnamon & Vanilla: These bring warmth and depth, making the bread feel cozy and bakery-worthy.
Optional Chocolate & Walnuts: Because… why not? Chocolate makes it indulgent, and walnuts add a perfect crunch.

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas mashed
½ cup melted butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup allulose
¼ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract or measure with your heart
2 eggs at room temperature
½ cup greek yogurt
1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
½ cup chocolate chips optional
1 cup chopped dark chocolate optional
1 cup walnuts optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease or line a loaf pan.
In a large bowl mash the bananas until smooth.
Add melted butter, cinnamon, allulose, and coconut sugar. Mix well.
Stir in vanilla extract, eggs, and Greek yogurt until smooth and combined.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Do not overmix.

Pour into your loaf pan and top with extra chocolate or nuts.

Let cool slightly before slicing and enjoying.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and flavor.
Allulose + coconut sugar keeps this recipe refined sugar-free while still delicious.
Greek yogurt is key for that extra moist texture.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft.
