Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 medium overripe bananas Look for brown, speckled bananas for optimal flavor and sweetness.
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Adds creaminess and protein without the tang; swap for Greek yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure; consider flax eggs for a vegan option using 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water per egg.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey Acts as a natural sweetener; maple syrup is vegan-friendly.
  • 1/2 cup almond butter Contributes healthy fats and moisture; peanut butter is a tasty substitute if desired.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor, making it delightful.
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour Provides essential structure; almond flour can be used but may require adjustments in quantity.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Necessary for leavening, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
  • 1 tsp baking soda Works in tandem with baking powder for an airy rise.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon Adds warmth and complements the flavors of the bananas nicely.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt Balances sweetness and elevates the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Infuses sweetness and a gooey texture; choose mini or regular chips based on preference.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts Consider walnuts or pecans for extra crunch or texture.
  • 1/4 cup melted chocolate drizzle For an indulgent finish, try drizzling on top once cooled.

  • loaf pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
  2. In a blender, combine your overripe bananas, creamy cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt to the blender. Pulse just until combined.
  4. Carefully fold in your chocolate chips by hand.
  5. Pour the smooth batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
  7. Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.
