Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour or almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky to keep texture interesting.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based cottage cheese, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat or almond flour, natural gelling agent, baking powder (natural), and ground cinnamon.
  4. Blend Everything Together: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient mixture slowly, ensuring no clumps remain while maintaining some airiness in the batter. Add optional chopped nuts if desired.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and binding without extra sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and tender crumb.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup (natural) according to your preferred sweetness and banana ripeness.
  • Start checking baking progress at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking as oven temperatures may vary.
  • Allow the bake to cool completely before slicing to achieve clean pieces.
