Cottage Cheese Banana Bread No Refined Sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan and line with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth with a few small chunks.

In a large bowl, using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, cream together the eggs with honey/maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Add blended cottage cheese and mix until well incorporated.

Add lemon juice.

Add softened butter and whisk to combine.

Mix in the mashed bananas.

Gently incorporate the flour mixture.

Mix just until incorporated. Don't overmix.

Pour the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Top with almond flakes.

Bake for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are perfect).

Let it cool in the pan 1015 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
