Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe bananas, mashed
3 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Optional mix-in’s: walnuts, chocolate chips or blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a loaf pan with parchment paper and grease
- In a large bowl, mix together the bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth
- Mix in the almond flour, baking soda and cinnamon until fully combined (depending on the brand cottage cheese you use, it may be chunky – that is ok!)
- Pour batter into loaf pan and bake in oven for about 50 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes or so if the top is starting to brown a bit
- Remove from oven once cooked (I stick a toothpick in to test)
- Allow the bread to cool then slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash.
- Chunky cottage cheese is fine and adds texture.
- Cool completely before slicing for best texture.
