Unlike traditional banana bread, our better-for-you rendition contains:
Best of all, this crave-worthy bread takes just 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes in the oven.

Most banana breads – whether they are commercially prepared or homemade – are loaded with refined flour, sugar and inflammatory vegetable oils.
Consider Starbucks Banana Nut Bread, for example. With more than 400 calories and 30 grams of sugar per serving, this kind of snack with your afternoon coffee or tea can bring your metabolism to a slow grind, while spiking blood sugar levels and promoting harmful inflammation.
Take a look at the ingredients in Starbucks’ version of this classic:
Bananas, enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), sugar, egg, soybean oil, walnuts, pecans, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate), sea salt, baking soda, natural flavor, spice, soy lecithin.
If you’ve landed on this page, you probably already know the harmful effects of gluten, grains and a high-sugar diet. But just as important are the kinds of fats we consume. In fact, dietary fats are powerful biochemical messengers that communicate with our genes!
The omega 6 fats – from vegetable, corn, soybean and seed oils – tell our bodies to create more inflammatory compounds, to constrict blood vessels (causing a rise in blood pressure) and promote dangerous blood clots.
And these are the primary fats you’ll find in most commercially-prepared baked goods and snacks (including the Starbucks’ product mentioned above).
But is it possible to make a grain free, carb-controlled, Paleo Banana Bread that tastes just as good (or better) than the original? We set out on a mission to find out…
While we believe our banana bread tastes even better than the original, it has a mere fraction of the calories and sugar.
In fact, one serving of the Paleo Banana Bread recipe featured below has just 186 calories (54% less than Starbucks), less than four grams of sugar (87% less) and eight grams total carbohydrate. There are also two grams of satiating fiber and four grams protein.
It also provides a great source of metabolism-boosting healthy fats: nine grams saturated fat (from coconut oil and egg yolks) and four grams monounsaturated fat (from the nuts).

You’ll find the printable recipe at the bottom of this post, but for now, let’s walk through it.
All you need to make this recipe is a cup and a half of our versatile all-purpose Miracle Mix, a couple ripe bananas, some farm fresh eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon and nuts.
You’ll also need a mixing bowl, measuring cup, whisk or hand-held mixer, rubber spatula and a 7.5” x 3.5” loaf pan or a muffin pan. We also strongly advise using a kitchen scale for accuracy, especially for the bananas.
Before we get started, I’d like to share a couple quick tips that really make a difference…
First, regarding the bananas. While you can use fresh, ripe bananas, I have found that freezing ripe bananas and then thawing them produces the best-tasting Paleo banana bread with a nice crumb and plenty of moisture.
You may also want to lightly toast the nuts before incorporating them in the batter. This helps to keep them crisp. Otherwise, the moisture can make them expand and they tend to get a bit soggy.
Enough talk… Let’s start baking!
Start by preheating your oven to 350F and grease your pan of choice.
Next, get out your bananas and weigh 250 grams. This should be roughly two medium bananas. If they are frozen, heat them in a skillet to bring to room temp (if you’re in a pinch for time, a microwave works). While you’re doing that, melt your coconut oil (grass-fed butter is also delicious, if you tolerate dairy). Toast and chop the nuts.

Hi, we’re Kelley & Jon Herring… Welcome to our kitchen!
Wellness Bakeries was founded in 2006, with the mission to create the world’s healthiest and best-tasting gluten-free, carb-conscious, baking mixes.
Our goal was to make it easy for you to enjoy decadent desserts, chewy breads, crusty pizza, fluffy pancakes, crispy waffles and other sweet treats – that would not sour your health!
When we started this journey, there were no options for truly healthy baking mixes.
Everything was loaded with inflammatory grains, fake fats and sugar…or even worse, artificial sweeteners. We knew there had to be a better – and MUCH healthier – way.
So, with our backgrounds in health research, nutritional biochemistry and recipe development, we set out to use grain-free flours, healthy, slimming fats and natural no-sugar sweeteners to match the taste, texture and flavor of our favorite comfort foods.
At the time, very few people had even heard the term “gluten free.” There were no products to taste for inspiration and no recipe books to follow. It was all trial… and LOTS of errors.
Eventually, however, the experiments paid off. We discovered a few secrets. And then we made small, incremental improvements… perfecting one delicious product at a time.
And while it certainly wasn’t easy…
In 2008, Wellness Bakeries began offering our healthy baking mixes to the world.
And while our goal today is to make “healthy baking” easy for YOUR family… it all began with a desire to feed our family in a better way.
So, you can be sure that every Wellness Bakeries product is Kid-Tested & Mom Approved!

We’re so grateful for you taking the time to visit Wellness Bakeries.
We hope you enjoy our uniquely delicious products as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you. We truly appreciate your support!
I have tried some of the sampler packs from Wellness Bakeries and so far have been very pleased with the results. I feel good about eating your products because I know the ingredients have been well researched and carefully selected. It’s wonderful to be able to satisfy my husband’s and my huge sweet tooth with desserts that are not only delicious but actually good for you!
Patty Lieberman
Thank you so much for creating your products! My husband has to watch his blood sugar carefully. I was so glad to learn that there are options for all-natural, low-glycemic desserts. I am even happier to say that we love the taste. It is hard to believe that something this good can be so good for you!

"I love what you do. I am gluten intolerant and reducing sugar, so your products fill the bill perfectly. I started with the Chocolate Bliss, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Drinking Chocolate. I have enjoyed them all! There are a lot of gluten-free products, but it is hard to find products that are gluten-free and low glycemic. Keep coming up with recipes and new products… they’re great!"
— Bari H.
"I’ve been looking for products like yours for a long time. My family loves dessert, but I hate the thought of feeding them so much sugar. We tried desserts with artificial sweeteners, but my kids always responded YUCK! We made our first batch of your cupcakes last night. I’m so impressed! More importantly, my family LOVED them!"
— Karen W.
"Going grain-free and sugar-free has been a challenge. I was looking for ways to have a treat without blowing my new way of eating. I have tried your chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies and ginger cookies. The texture in grain-free, sugar-free products is usually crumbly and mealy. But your products are exceptional! I will be trying new ones and reordering the ones I have already tried."
— Gina S.
"I love your baking mixes. When I decided to eat less gluten and sugar, I dreaded not being able to enjoy my favorite sweets. I tried some gluten-free products but none offered the right flavor and texture, until I found yours! I made the Chocolate Bliss cupcakes and they were soooo good. Didn't even get them frosted before they were gone! I don't recall how your website found me, but I’m sure glad it did!"
— Suzanne Z.
"I am so thankful for your products! I ordered Chocolate Bliss Cake and absolutely LOVE it! It is so nice to enjoy something sweet without the sugar crash of most desserts. I feel great when I eat this cake and I don’t even feel guilty!! I eat low-glycemic and paleo as much as possible. I just feel healthier and more energetic when I eat this way. I have not found anything that compares to your products!"
— Andrea H.
"I want to thank you for the delicious and OOOOH SOOOOOOO good for you desserts! I just tried them and was SO IMPRESSED with the taste, texture and, of course, clean ingredients! I am a drugless health practitioner and weight loss coach and have started sharing your website with my clients. Everyone needs to know about you! Thank you again for all you do and for offering such "wholesome" products!"
