Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- ¾ cup cottage cheese blended
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease or line with parchment paper a 9x5 bread loaf pan
- Mash bananas.
- Blend cottage cheese until smooth.
- Mix wet ingredients.
- Combine dry ingredients separately. Fold together gently.
- Bake 50–57 minutes. Add foil to the top if the top starts to brown too much. I usually do this after about 35-45 minutes. Watch your bake time carefully; you want only a few crumbs to come out on the toothpick.
- Cool completely before slicing.
