Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

These Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins are a perfect keto-friendly baked good to enjoy for breakfast!

Low-Carb Banana Bread

I grew up eating my Mom’s banana bread and it was my absolute favorite weekend breakfast. Unfortunately, as I’ve grown older, I no longer tolerate carbs and sugar like I used to. This made bananas and banana bread a thing of the past.

I recently had a sudden craving for banana bread and got to thinking about how much I missed eating it. This motivated me to develop a low-carb variation of this recipe to share with all of you!

These muffins are a delicious homage to the traditional banana bread I grew up eating. But then, I added an extra layer of goodness: chocolate chips! Because what makes everything taste better?! CHOCOLATE.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips In Banana Bread Muffins

The chocolate chips used in this recipe are extremely allergy-friendly and contain only one simple ingredient: cacao. Unlike other brands on the market that contain soy lecithin, Pascha chocolate chips are free from soy and other emulsifiers. You can purchase Pascha Chocolate Chips on Amazon or check out their store locator to find a store near you.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins Sweetened With Monk Fruit Sweetener

These muffins are sweetened with my favorite net-carb-free and all-natural sweetener, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, which is a necessary addition to your pantry if you follow a ketogenic diet and enjoy eating dessert! Monk fruit sweetener won’t spike your blood sugar, won’t kick you out of ketosis, and, the best part, tastes exactly like traditional sugar!

If you are looking for a sweetener that tastes like sugar and is low-carb, keto, and paleo-compliant, I highly recommend trying Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!
