Not kidding, the only reason I made this sugar-free baklava banana bread is because of the sugar-free honey I recently got from ChocZero.

It’s so good, I just have it plain. And it goes so so well with the pistachio in this banana bread, I wanted to have even that filling plain!


Ingredients for Healthy Sugar free Baklava Banana Bread

This healthy high protein baklava banana bread is made with simple ingredients like whole wheat pastry flour, protein powder and non-fat greek yogurt, and has no oil and no sugar either!

  • Mashed Banana from completely ripe and browned bananas
  • Vanilla Protein Powder; This is the source of protein and sweetness in the protein powder banana bread since there’s no added sugar in this recipe. I used whey-casein Quest Vanilla.
  • Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein banana bread. I use Quest Nutrition’s Multi-purpose Mix Whey-Casein protein powder.
  • Whole wheat pastry flour which gives it the light texture, bit still keeps it healthy
  • Unsweetened Applesauce
  • Non-fat Greek Yogurt a high protein low fat banana bread
  • Almond Milk or regular milk
  • Eggs
  • Cinnamon and Cardamom
  • Baking Powder

For the healthy baklava banana bread filling:

  • Chopped Pistachios
  • Chopped Almonds
  • Sugar Free Honey; I use this sugar-free keto honey from ChocZero. It really does taste like actual honey!
  • Cinnamon and Cardamom
