4 Ingredient Healthier Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add the bananas, cottage cheese and maple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the self-rising flour to a large mixing bowl and pour the blended mixture over the flour. Gently fold the flour into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula until the flour is incorporated and no dry flour streaks remain. Do your best not to overmix the batter.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When you apply light pressure to the surface of the bread, it should also bounce back.

Step 5

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Store uneaten banana bread in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
