Blender Babes adapted a popular recipe and made it healthier by using coconut oil, white whole wheat flour, and a healthier sugar option than white. Another trick of ours, we kept our banana bread moist by using yogurt.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BANANAS

Bananas are one of nature’s best foods containing health-promoting flavonoids and poly-phenolics, such as lutein, zeaxanthin, beta and alpha carotenes. What do all these big words mean? Antioxidants – bananas contain lots of free radical fighting antioxidants.

Just one banana contains 467 mg of potassium, which is important for controlling your heart rate and blood pressure. Potassium is also good for women during that certain time of month. The same amount of banana has just one milligram of sodium. The vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) in bananas provides around 28% of what is needed daily to help prevent anemia and coronary artery disease.

  1. 4 stars
    This is a easy to make recipe. I didn’t have any nuts, so I added 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and dried cherries 1/4 cup. And, it was wonderful! The chocolate melted and the kids loved it!!

  2. Yes absolutely! We just had a community member test it with almond meal and gluten free flour and said it turned out AWESOME! :d

  3. We love chocolate covered katie! We have a coconut butter recipe as well. Love that you made this recipe gluten-free and it still turned out AWESOME! Thx so much for sharing! 😀 HAPPY BLENDING!

    Love any recipe I can make in my Blendtec blender–this one is especially delicious. Doubled the bananas called for, replaced AP flour with 1 c. almond meal and 1/2 c. gluten free flour from trader joe's. I used coconut sugar and added chocolate chips. Topped it with coconut butter, also made in my blendtec, recipe courtesy of The "Chocolate-Covered" Diet's Chocolate Covered Katie. 🙂 It was delicious!

    Trying now, glad to have feedback below re bananas. Wait, first I need to get into my bikini. Then I'll make it.

      If you wanted to make this recipe gluten-free, you may need to do more than just switch the flour – I’m no baking expert, but I think you’d need something to keep it from being too dense. We will work on a gluten-free banana bread option!

  6. I just tried this recipe, it turned out good not a wow but maybe because it is cheap on the bananas, need definitely more.
