Can I eat bananas on keto?

No, you cannot eat bananas on the keto diet. They’re one of the fruits that are high in carbs which means you will go over your carb limit if you eat bananas while doing keto.

How many carbs are in bananas?

One medium-ripe banana weighing about 118g contains roughly 27 grams of carbs. Considering that most people on keto or low carb eat 20 grams of total carbs on average, one ripe banana will use up this entire allowance plus some.

 

What is a good replacement for bananas on keto?

For baking purposes, you can easily replace bananas with banana extract. This will add great banana flavor without the carbs. If you’re in a hurry you can check out my favorite pure sugar-free banana extract at Amazon. This one is quite popular and I’ve found that it works best for my baking needs.
