Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 2-3 overripe bananas until smooth. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  6. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
