- 1/2 cup cottage cheese low-fat, smooth

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a loaf pan with oil.
- In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, peanut butter, baking powder, and eggs together. Combine them well.
- Add in cocoa powder and combine well.
- Now use half of the batter and pour it into the loaf pan.
- Now, in a smaller bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, maple syrup, and cornstarch until it’s smooth.
- Add cottage cheese to the loaf pan and spread it around so it forms a thin layer.
- Cover with the rest of the cocoa batter and level it out. Sprinkle with almond flakes on top.
