Cottage Cheese Banana Bread

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas, mashed

- 3 large eggs

- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 2 1/2 cups almond flour

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or blueberries

Directions

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)
