This recipe makes two 1-pound loaves of banana bread, so you can freeze one or share it. If you want only one loaf, just cut all of the ingredients in half. This recipe comes from my new cookbook Naturally Keto.

Ingredients
12 eggs or 3 cups
1 cup salted butter melted or avocado oil
2/3 cup water
1 tbsp banana extract plus 1 tsp
2 tsp maple extract
1/2 tsp vanilla liquid stevia
1 cup packed Swerve brown sugar sweetener or 190 grams
1 cup coconut flour or 120 grams
1 cup ground flaxseed or 112 grams
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp xanthan gum or gelatin
1/2 tsp salt
Optional Add-Ins
1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
1/2 cups walnuts or pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two 9 by 5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, with the edges left hanging over the sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
Place the eggs, butter, water, extracts, and stevia in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer) and mix until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar sweetener, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt. Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredient mixture and blend until combined.
Divide the batter between two bowls and stir half of the chocolate chips or nuts, if using, into each bowl. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pans.
Once cool, remove from the pans by lifting up on the parchment paper. Slice and serve one loaf and freeze one loaf.
Storage: Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 1 week or place in a zip-top freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month.
