Years ago, I worked with the SPLENDA 365 SWEET SWAPS blogger program to discover new ways I can incorporate SPLENDA into some of my recipes and reduce my sugar intake. Lately I’ve been playing around with ways to swap out sugar like my yummy banana bread recipe with Splenda and I can’t wait to share it!
The idea of sugar free banana bread has always made me a little nervous. And really, no sugar banana bread doesn’t exist because of the natural sugar in bananas.
But when I heard about SPLENDA sugar blend, I was totally intrigued because Splenda banana bread didn’t sound quite as scary to me.
The thing I like about SPLENDA recipes is that the flavor isn’t affected by the swap.
I don’t know if there is such a thing as a healthy banana bread recipe but every little bit helps right?

We use to run through bananas like crazy in this house, but the boys have backed way off snacking on this yummy fruit.
Lately, I’ve found myself with an abundance of overly ripe bananas, which we all know means banana bread!
I’m a busy mom and when I bake, I need easy and simple recipes and my Banana bread with Splenda is about as easy as they come!
The key is making sure you have the Splenda sugar blend. This is still a dessert and it’s not sugar free, but it is delicious! I love this recipe and so does my whole family.

Baking Banana Bread with Splenda
I tried making a sort of sugar free banana bread using all SPLENDA on one occasion and another time using the SPLENDA Sugar Blend.
I really enjoyed both sweet breads, but I think will use the blend in future recipes. It was delicious! And yes, I will share.
You can also make this recipe with regular sugar but when I’m looking to cut back, my favorite of the three options is the Splenda sugar blend.
Splenda recipes with the sugar blend aren’t quite sugar free banana bread, but it’s definitely a good start if you want to cut out sugar in small ways.
And what is super fun for me is baking with my kids. Baking banana bread is a great way to get young kids in the kitchen because there are lots of easy ways to get them involved.
My sons love peeling and mashing the bananas, cracking the eggs and even measuring and pouring the dry ingredients.
When my oldest son was in 2nd grade, he even wrote a report on how to make banana bread! I guess you could say it’s a family affair. You can prep in less than 20 minutes and then all you have to do is let it bake.

This came out great. I did use less Splenda than the recipe required as the bananas were ripe and sweet. Will make it again.
We made small loaves and cookies from your Splenda banana bread recipe❣️
That sounds so good!
I made
Banana walnut bread(Splenda) and it turned out horrible…doughy…awful! I kinda questioned the “no egg” ingredients but thought I’d try it! Wrong! Terrible!
This recipe does call for an egg. I’m not sure which recipe you used but I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
Mad Vanna Splenda. My family loved it. They asked me to make again❤️
I had to make some small variations. For Splenda sugar blend I used 1/4 cup of each as I didn’t have any. My baking soda was old so I I used 3 tsp of baking powder. And because I had buttermilk I used 3 TBS of that as sometimes sweet breads are too dry for me. I also added some sliced almonds. Wow! I will be making this regularly! I took note of the adjustments so I can. Hope u don’t mind me tweaking it a little!
I’m anxious to try this recipe using Monkfruit as a sweetener. I was told that it doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste that Splenda, Trivia or Swerve has. Just curious to know if anyone has tried this recipe using almond flour instead of regular all purpose flour. looks Uh-Mayyy-zing‼️?
I haven’t tried these swaps but now I want to! I would start with a 1:1 swap and see if you need to add more almond flour. You don’t want it super runny. If anyone has tried it, please let us know!
The title says “with Splenda” but the recipe states “Splenda Sugar Blend”. Which did you use? It matters for me because I’m making it for someone that is diabetic.
I have made it both ways! You can still use a 1:1 ratio with regular Splenda when swapping this amount.
I just made this recipe with a few tweaks. I used Red Mill Stone Ground wheat flour, added in 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. It turned out perfect and so moist! I will be making this one again. Thanks so much.
Do you have breakdown of carbs, carbohydrates, etc?
Hi Mary, I’ve just added this info above. Please note, it’s based on 6 servings and the first ingredient option in the recipe. For instance, when I say to use butter or margarine, I’m calculating for butter. Thanks for reading!
Do you use milk in banana bread
I don’t use it in my recipe. There may be some that do but this doesn’t need it!
I baked two loaves of banana bread because like you said the bananas were turning brown. I ate three pieces. Thank God I gave the rest to my two neighbor lady friends. Thanks, I believe I might go bake again. I did not have Splenda so I used another sweeter but it was delicious too.
So glad to hear you liked it!
This looks so delicious!!!
We all love it! Never lasts long around here 🙂
Hmmm I’m not sure. I know ovens can vary. Did you use the Splenda/Sugar blend? Using only Splenda may merit a little tweaking.
I just made this recipe with a few tweaks. I used Red Mill Stone Ground wheat flour, added in 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. It turned out perfect and so moist! I will be making this one again. Thanks so much.
So glad you enjoyed it!
This was an amazing recipe. I did however use 4 1/2 bananas and 2 tsp vanilla but other than that this was so amazing kids, husbands, in laws all loved it
I’m so glad to hear you all loved it! Thank you for sharing your tips!
I have made this a few times now and me and my wife enjoy it every time. This last time I tried it using muffin tins and 1/2 cup less flour baked for 30 min and they came out great. Though I could probably reduce the cooking time a bit lol.
Great tip! Thanks.
Vanilla? as in extract or pods? Baking target for a diabetic family member so will it be needed at all?
I used extract but I don’t see why you couldn’t swap it with other options.
I just made this and the taste was good (no after taste with the Splenda) however, it was dark, and kind of flat. I baked it in a glass pan for exactly one hour…does it turn out better in a non stick pan?
That’s a great question! I also use glass pans. Depending on your oven you may want to play with the time to make sure it doesn’t overcook. With mine, the edges do get a little dark by the time the center is done. If you try non-stick, I’d love to know how it turns out!
Can you share a recipe using splenda to make muffins?
I just made this recipe into 12 small muffin cups ( not the mini). Delicious. How I changed it for me is I used 1 large banana, 1/4 cups of walnuts, 1/3 cup of spray butter (I can’t believe It’s not butter) No Calories… and cooked them for 13 minutes. YUM… My Husband will even love these. I will be freezing these individually so they won’t get moldy like my last ones did.
Thanks for sharing! Freezing muffins is a great idea!
That actually looks delicious and I need one dish recipes like this so badly, with my energy levels. Thank you!!
Making this right now and it smells heavenly! I added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon!
Banana bread is an all time favorite around our house!
No offense to Splenda but I’m going to totally try this with Truvia!
Yum! Thanks for the recipe!
Enjoy!
Nice and easy recipe! Looks delish too.
Thanks! It was really great. I may make another loaf this weekend 🙂
