Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, unsweetened applesauce, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense loaf.
  5. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  9. Slice the sugar-free chai-spiced banana bread and serve as a delightful treat for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Tips and Variations:

  • To make the banana bread even more flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of nutmeg.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste without using sugar, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
  • Feel free to customize the recipe by incorporating other spices such as allspice or cardamom for additional depth of flavor.
  • For a bit of crunch, sprinkle some oats or chopped nuts on top of the batter before baking.
  • This sugar-free banana bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
