Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

2 pieces ripe bananas, mashed Use overly ripe bananas for extra sweetness.
3 pieces eggs
½ cup cottage cheese Whipped for a creamier texture (optional).
3 tablespoons maple syrup Adjust to taste for sweetness.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

2 ½ cups almond flour Can be replaced with all-purpose or regular flour.
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon Add more spices like nutmeg or ginger for flavor.

Optional Mix-Ins

½ cup walnuts or chocolate chips or blueberries Feel free to use any of these options for added taste.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually add almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon; stir until combined.
Fold in any optional mix-ins.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Baking

Bake for about 50 minutes, covering loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
Check doneness with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the bread is done. If wet, bake longer.

Cooling

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This banana bread can be stored tightly wrapped for a week in the fridge, or frozen for up to 3 months. Warm a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before enjoying.
