Ingredients
  

  • 2 overly ripe bananas
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 heaping half cup of cottage cheese
  • A splash of maple syrup
  • A dash of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
 

Preparing the Bananas:

  • In a mixing bowl, take two overly ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly using the back of a spoon. Ensure that the bananas are well-mashed, as this will contribute to the moist texture of the bread.

Combining the Wet Ingredients:

  • To the mashed bananas, add three eggs, a heaping half cup of cottage cheese, a splash of maple syrup, and a dash of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Incorporating the Dry Ingredients:

  • Next, it's time to add the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in one cup of almond flour, followed by one teaspoon of baking powder and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir the mixture gently until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. The almond flour adds a delightful nuttiness to the bread, while the cinnamon imparts a warm and comforting aroma.

Optional Mix-ins:

  • If you're in the mood for some extra excitement, now is the perfect time to add some mix-ins. Consider adding a handful of walnuts for a delightful crunch, or perhaps some chocolate chips for a touch of indulgence. If you prefer a burst of fruity goodness, try tossing in some blueberries. Feel free to get creative and customize your banana bread to suit your preferences!

Baking:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and pour the banana bread batter into it, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The exact baking time may vary, so keep an eye on the bread and adjust accordingly.
  • Once baked to perfection, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. The anticipation will be hard to resist, but trust me, it's worth the wait. Once cooled, slice a piece and savor the moist and delicious cottage cheese banana bread that's sure to satisfy your cravings.
