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.

    • 2 medium ripe bananas 

    • 1 c cottage cheese

    • 1/2 c egg whites

    • 2 tsp vanilla extract 

  • DRY 

    • 1/2 cup coconut flour

    • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder 

    • 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. 

  2. Add all other ingredients and besides chocolate chips and stir until combined. Add chips.

No clue what I did wrong with this recipe but after 55 mins – the bread was still runny.. I left it in for another 10 mins but it was burnt on the top. Maybe it is better as muffins.

So sorry! Not sure honestly. What type of protein powder did you use? That’s usually it

Made these into muffins and they were delicious! They needed the full 25 minutes and turned out very moist.

I made these as muffins today. I didn’t have bananas, so I used applesauce. Good but I love the banana flavor. I dislike prunes but have been looking for a way to include them in my diet for bone health. I substituted chopped prunes for chocolate chips, and it’s the only way I’ve found that I can enjoy prunes. I still love chocolate the most (duh!), but am glad I’ve found a way to tolerate the taste of prunes.

Love that tweak!

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.
