Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then add the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
