Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2-3 pieces ripe bananas Adds natural sweetness and moisture; substitute with unsweetened applesauce for lower sugar.
  • 2 large eggs Binds ingredients together; for a vegan option, use flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg).
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Enhances moisture and boosts protein; opt for low-fat or smooth blended for creaminess.
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup Infuses sweetness; for reduced sugar, try honey or sugar-free syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Elevates flavor; no substitutions necessary.
  • 1.5 cups almond flour A gluten-free base; do not replace 1:1 with other flours due to density.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensures the bread rises; check for freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Optional, but recommended for spice enthusiasts.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large bowl, then add 2 eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until no lumps remain.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, ensuring it reaches the edges for even baking.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. Remove once clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
