This easy coffee banana loaf is made without any flour or added sugar. All you need is 5 ingredients and you have a healthy yummy treat!
This coffee banana bread loaf is so quick and easy to throw together. Most of these 5 ingredients are typically always on hand. I adore that there is no added sugar or sweetener. The sweetness comes from the bananas (and chocolate chips – if using).
This is definitely a unique recipe with the added coffee ingredient. If you don’t have coffee, all you need is 2 teaspoons instant coffee whisked in with 3 tablespoons water. You can also just use milk instead.
Since this loaf recipe is flourless you would expect a mushy bread texture but its the exact opposite. Whenever I use nut butter, the texture comes out just like a traditional bread.
Make sure to use zero sugar chocolate chips to keep these at a low glycemic index. If you like this recipe you will love my 6 Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread or my Flourless Banana Peanut Butter Bars.

Easy Coffee Banana Loaf (5 Ingredients)
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas,, mashed
- 1 cup (258 g) peanut butter,, smooth + creamy
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbs coffee
Optional:
- 1/3 cup (60 g) chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- If you don’t have peanut butter, you can use any other nut butter or seed butter.
- This recipe is not very sweet since there is no added sugar or maple syrup. If you want to make it sweeter add in some sweetener or chocolate chips.
- Nutritional info includes chocolate chips.
- If you don’t have coffee, all you need is 2 teaspoons instant coffee whisked in with 3 tablespoons water. You can also just use milk instead.
This one flopped for me. The only thing I did differently was to use flax eggs instead of eggs. The loaf completely sunk in the middle and didn’t bake all the way through, even with extra time. So, I’m not sure what I should have used instead.
Silver Lining: It ended up being a delicious “pudding” instead 😆
Incredible recipe! 🤩👍 So simple yet so moist and delicious! I only had two bananas at hand so i replaced the 3rd one that the recipe was calling for with 1/2 cup of apple sauce. No need for added sugar, it’s perfectly sweet for my tooth with the chocolate chips! 😄 i used 3 tbsp of almond milk instead of coffee. I also appreciate that the recipe comes with nutrition information. Thank you! 🥰 With 9 g of protein per slice of cake, i have the feeling that my nutritionist is going to approve this recipe, and she might even ask for me to share it with her! 😊
