Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe fresh bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey (natural) or maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure a golden crust.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add plant-based cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent for even distribution.
  5. Fold Together and Pour: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Choose very ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal natural sweetness.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain a tender, light texture.
  • Start checking the bake at 30 minutes as oven temperatures may vary.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and even baking.
  • Use the correct amount of natural gelling agent to avoid a rubbery texture.
