Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for Nutty Delight)
  • 1/3 cup plant-based chocolate chips (for Chocolate Lover’s Version)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut or diced pineapple (for Tropical Twist)
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (for Spiced Variation)
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries (for Berry Boost)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with some small chunks left for texture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until creamy and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, natural gelling agent, baking powder, ground cinnamon (natural), and salt in another bowl to ensure even mixing.
  4. Bring Everything Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently, then fold in the mashed bananas until fully integrated without overmixing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and rise.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure consistent baking.
  • Allow the bake to cool before slicing to avoid crumbling.
