Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs, cottage cheese, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas, mix until creamy and uniform.
  4. Gradually stir in almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, gently fold until smooth without overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top and tapping gently to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick at the 50-minute mark.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
