Ingredients needed to make sugar free chocolate chip banana bread with no added sugar.
- Butter. Browned and then cooled to room temperature (directions below). If you are using unsalted butter, you can add a half teaspoon of salt to the flour.
- Flour. All purpose flour was used to make my bread. If you decide to use an alternative all purpose flour, like gluten free all purpose flour, make sure that it measures and bakes like all purpose flour for best results.
- Baking Soda. This is the leavening agent used to make the bread rise.
- Ground Cinnamon . Adds a nice flavor to this bread.
- Brown Sugar Alternative. for best results, select a granular brown sugar alternative that can be baked with and that measures and bakes like regular brown sugar
- Bananas. Your bananas should be mashed.
- Eggs. Your eggs should be at room temperature for optimal blending.
- Vanilla Extract. Used for flavor balance.
- Greek Yogurt. Added for leavening, moisture, and flavor. Use plain Greek Yogurt.
- Sugar Free Chocolate Chips. Use no added sugar chocolate chips that are suitable for baking with.
Tips for making the best banana bread with chocolate chips.
For best results, use bananas that are very ripe rather than fresh. The more ripe the bananas are the easier it will be to mash them smoothly so that they will blend with the ingredients more successfully.
More helpful tips for you.
- The easiest way to mash a soft banana is to use a potato masher.
- To brown your butter, melt it over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it turns a dark amber color. Then let the browned butter cool for 10 minutes.
- When adding your chocolate chips to the mixing bowl, it is best to gently fold them in rather than stirring them in. This will help keep the structure of the batter while evenly distributing your chips.
- Prep your loaf pan well for baking to help keep your bread from sticking to the pan. I like to grease or spray my pan and then dust it with a bit of flour.
- When baking your bread check on it frequently while it is baking. Pulling the banana bread out of the oven too soon can cause the center to be soft or gooey as the bananas need to fully bake.
- Lastly, allow the bread cool before slicing and serving it. Doing so will help to prevent the bread from crumbling when you do slice it.
