Protein Cottage Cheese Banana Bread with Blueberries


  • Author: Shirley
  • Total Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese, blended
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1 cup + a few blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and cardamom.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just fully combined—be careful not to overmix!
  • Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries.
  • Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle a few additional blueberries on top, spreading them evenly to avoid sinking.
  • Bake: Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, covering with aluminum foil after 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning of the top.
  • Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
