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, so bananas and banana bread were 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, so I knew I needed to develop a low-carb variation of this recipe for you all!
These muffins are not only a delicious homage to the traditional banana bread I grew up eating, but I also added an extra layer of flavor… 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 chocolate chips 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 that sells Pascha products.
(If you are looking for more recipes to use Pascha Chocolate Chips in, I suggest trying my Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Muffins, No-Bake Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Fat Bomb Bars, and Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies!)
Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins Are Nut-Free Keto Recipe
Like many of my recent easy keto recipes, these Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins are free from any ingredients containing nuts and are safe to consume for those with a nut allergy or nut intolerance!

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!
