Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Place the banana, eggs, peanut butter, cottage cheese, and baking powder in a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Blend on high until you have a smooth, creamy batter with no visible lumps.

Step 4

Carefully pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.

Step 5

Evenly sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips over the top of the batter.

Step 6

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50–55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out mostly clean (melted chocolate is fine), your banana bread is ready.

Step 7

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to help it set.

Step 8

Slice into 8 portions and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
