Total Time: 55 mins
Yield: 8-10 slices 1x
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
3 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste if you want sweeter)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups almond flour**
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Optional mix-in’s: walnuts, chocolate chips or blueberries are all great
Instructions
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)
Allow the bread to cool then slice and enjoy!
