Check out how easy it is to make this skinny dessert with these simple ingredients:

  • ripe bananas
  • honey
  • vanilla flavoring
  • coconut oil
  • plain greek yogurt
  • quinoa flour
  • organic cacao powder
  • sea salt
  • baking soda
  • egg

How to make a healthy banana bread recipe

Heat oven to 350. In a medium bowl mash the ripe bananas. Add the honey, vanilla, coconut oil, yogurt, flour, cacao powder, salt, baking soda, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are mixed well, but try not to “over mix” as that can affect the outcome of your bread.

Pour the mixture into a bread pan.

Place the skinny chocolate banana bread in the oven and bake on 350 for 60-70 minutes.

Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing from the baking dish.

When you try this bread for the first time you will notice it’s a little different texture since it doesn’t use regular flour. It’s more dense. And it is super moist.

Another favorite way to use up my ripe bananas is by making Banana Bread Muffins. They are SO easy and so delicious!

If you love calorie muffins, check out these peanut butter muffins. They are easily adjustable, but also a great low calorie treat.
