Description

This Cottage Cheese Banana Bread is the ultimate soft, moist and delicious banana bread to make. It’s gluten-free, made with almond flour, and it is lower in sugar and higher in protein compared to your typical banana bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste if you want sweeter)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Optional mix-ins: walnuts, chocolate chips or blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a loaf pan with parchment paper and grease.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Mix in the almond flour, baking soda and cinnamon until fully combined (it’s okay if the cottage cheese is a bit chunky).
  4. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes if the top is browning.
  5. Remove from oven and test doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Allow to cool, slice and enjoy!

Notes

*Store banana bread in an airtight container for 3 days, 5 days in the fridge, or 2 months in the freezer. **Gluten-free baking flour and all-purpose flour are not 1:1 substitutes for almond flour.
