Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- If you haven't done so already, grind 2 cups of almonds in a food processor to create almond meal/flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs until they are well beaten.
- Add the melted coconut oil (if it's solid, melt it gently in a microwave or on the stove), vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the almond meal, cinnamon, salt, and chopped walnuts. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add the sparkling water to the batter and gently fold it in. This helps to give the bread a bit of lift and a lighter texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Once cooled, slice the banana bread and serve. Enjoy your refined sugar-free treat!

Refined sugar-free banana bread FAQ:
Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Yes, you can substitute walnuts with other chopped nuts like pecans or hazelnuts. However, for the almond meal, it's best to stick with almonds to maintain the texture and flavor, though other nut flours may also work.
Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
To check if the banana bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter. The top should also be golden brown.
Yes, you can substitute coconut oil with other oils like olive oil or melted butter. However, this may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the banana bread.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe; the riper they are, the sweeter your bread will be.
- You can substitute coconut oil with any healthy fat like olive oil or avocado oil if you prefer.
- For a nut-free version, replace almonds with oat flour and omit the walnuts.
- Adding a handful of dark chocolate chips can make the bread more indulgent while still keeping it refined sugar-free.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together well.
