Protein Banana Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line or grease a loaf pan.
  • Blend bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, and vanilla extract in a high speed blender or with an immersion blender until smooth – make sure the cottage cheese is completely blended in. Pour liquid ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl whisk together all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Pour dry ingredients into wet and mix with a flat spatula.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 55 minutes – lightly cover top with a piece of aluminum foil when there are 20 minutes left to prevent top from getting too brown.
  • Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and cutting into slices

Notes

  • Use 1:1 gluten free flour blend to make this gluten free
  • You can use a higher fat cottage cheese
  • Add greek yogurt or peanut butter as a topping for even more protein
