Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese, I used 2%
¼ cup (60 g) maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (80 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl using the back of a fork. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Feel free to sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter and gently press them in with your fingers so they don’t fall off while baking.
Bake the banana bread for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean, in the preheated oven
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store your banana bread in an airtight container or packed with aluminum foil/plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to a week.
