Making banana bread sugar-free and diabetes friendly is surprisingly easy.

The base ingredients (bananas, almond flour, and cinnamon) provide plenty of flavors so you don’t have to use a lot of sweeteners. Just a third of a cup of Stevia or another no-carb sweetener does the trick.

With only 5 grams of carbs per serving, this recipe is even keto-friendly if you eat it in moderation!
