What do you do with extra ripe bananas? Well in our house we make this whole wheat sugar free banana bread.

Extra ripe bananas are perfect for making banana bread. They are naturally sweet, so you can omit additional sugar in many recipes. In this Whole Wheat Sugar Free Banana Bread, we’ve cut out the sugar completely and used whole wheat flour to create a healthy banana bread that you can enjoy anytime! This bread is always moist and delicious making perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.

These bananas have banana bread written all over them. When they get to looking like this, my kids won’t touch them. They’ll say, “Eeeww, they’re all soft and spotted.” That’s okay with me because I know that the brown spots just mean they are extra sweet and will make a delicious loaf of quick bread. If I can’t use them right away, they will freeze until I am. To freeze bananas, I peel them then cut into slices. I’ll store them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. When I’m ready to make banana ice cream or banana bread, I’ll just take out what I need. It’s that simple.

Last Christmas my husband gave me a set of silicone baking pans. I seriously love these things. They make everything non-stick without having to butter and flour the pan. I used my 9×5 loaf pan in this recipe. If you aren’t using a silicone baking pan, you’ll need to butter and flour your pan before pouring in the batter.

If you just have to add an extra smackerel (said in my best Winnie the Pooh voice) of sweetness, swear a slice with a touch of creamed honey or a honey butter. Enjoy this sugar free banana bread!
