Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, soft and mushy
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with plant-based butter or a little oil to prevent sticking and set aside while you prepare your mixture.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth with just a few small lumps remaining to keep some texture and natural bite.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based cottage cheese, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and plant-based milk to the mashed bananas. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and creamy.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution.
  5. Bring It All Together: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to maintain a light texture.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the Banana Cottage Cheese Bake to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to let it set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas to maximize natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Measure ingredients precisely to maintain ideal texture.
  • Gently fold ingredients to keep the batter light and airy.
  • Use a toothpick test to check doneness to avoid under or over baking.
  • Allow the bake to rest after baking for best texture and flavor.
