Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 2 ripe large bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • 0.25 cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, ripe bananas, eggs, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture for the bread.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt into the blended mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined, taking care not to over-mix to maintain a tender crumb.
  4. Incorporate Optional Mix-ins: If using, fold in chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or oats carefully into the batter to add texture and flavor.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking. Place into the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Before Slicing: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing to achieve clean, neat slices.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Allow the loaf to cool fully before slicing to ensure clean cuts and prevent crumbling.
  • Optional add-ins like chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips enhance texture and richness.
  • The bread freezes well when sliced, making it convenient for meal prep.
  • Eggs are essential for structure; do not substitute with milk. For egg replacements, flax eggs are recommended.
