Cottage Cheese Banana Bread w/ Chocolate Chips


Ok so I LOVE my OG protein banana bread recipe but on this day I only had 2 ripe bananas instead of the 3-4 needed for my other recipe so tweaked and used cottage cheese as another wet ingredient to make it the nuts right texture and it’s fab! Hope you love this super light recipe.

    • 1 c cottage cheese

    • 1/2 c egg whites

    • 1 tsp baking soda

    • 1 tsp cinnamon

    • dash pink salt

    • 1/3 c desired chocolate chips &/or nuts (optional) used Lilys dark chips

STEPS

  1. Mash bananas with a potato masher. Stir in cottage cheese, whites, & vanilla extract and stir.

I just made this for the first time. It tastes delicious, but upon resting the loaf completely deflated. I cooked it for 50 minutes and a toothpick came out clean. I’m wondering if I needed to bake it longer or if a more dense bread is typical with these ingredients.

I’m not able could I use pumpkin instead? If so, how much would be needed? Thank you.

Laura

Would almond flour work? If so, would the proportion change?

Beth

Just made this and while it is super tasty, mine came out very deflated and crumbly. Should we be using baking powder instead of soda?
