Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese low-fat, smooth
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Vanilla Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a loaf pan with oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine mashed bananas, almond butter, eggs, and baking powder. Mix well to form batter.
- In another bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, maple syrup, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Pour half of the banana batter into the loaf pan and level it out. Then, add a cinnamon swirl layer on top and level it out. Finally, cover with the remaining batter.
- Take a knife and pass it through the middle of the batter a couple times, we want the middle layer of cinnamon swirl to shift between the layers a little bit.
- Now, level the top layer and bake the bread in the oven for 45-50 minutes. Cover with foil after 20-25 minutes so the top of the banana bread doesn’t burn.
- While the banana bread is baking, combine all of the vanilla icing ingredients.
- When the banana bread has baked, let it cool down before drizzling it with vanilla icing and then slicing.
