This banana tea loaf skips the sugar entirely, relying on ripe bananas and a splash of orange juice concentrate for all its sweetness. A whisper of orange zest runs through the crumb, making each slice fragrant and bright.

The method couldn’t be simpler. Wet ingredients get stirred into dry, spread into a loaf pan, and baked until golden on top. It’s the kind of loaf you slice thin, enjoy with a cup of tea, and feel good about reaching for a second piece.

Pro Tips

  • Swap orange juice concentrate for pineapple concentrate for a tropical twist.
  • Line the pan with waxed paper and spray with cooking spray for easy, clean release.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring so it holds its shape.
