Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and easy removal of the bake.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving some texture for a rustic feel that adds moisture and natural sweetness to the bake.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based cottage cheese, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas. Mix gently to combine, keeping the mixture creamy and well blended.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon (natural), salt, and natural gelling agent to create the structure and texture for your bake.
  5. Bring Wet and Dry Mixtures Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to create a smooth but slightly thick batter without overmixing, preserving a light texture.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for a few minutes to set before slicing. This ensures the natural gelling agent firms up, making it easier to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Choose ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain a fluffy and tender texture.
  • Use a toothpick to test doneness without drying out the bake.
  • Allow the bake to cool before slicing to set the texture properly.
  • Always use fresh plant-based cottage cheese and natural spices for the best results.
