Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste if you want it sweeter)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup walnuts, chocolate chips, or blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in your choice of mix-ins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- For extra sweetness, add more maple syrup or a drizzle of honey before serving.
- This bread freezes well—wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
