Ingredients
- 2¼ cups rolled oats
- 3 egg large, at room temperature
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 3 banana medium to large, ripe
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar optional, approximately 55 g
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup walnuts optional add-in, see notes below, chopped, approximately 30 g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 5 (23cm x 13cm) loaf pan.
- Blend the rolled oats in a blender until they form a fine flour. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the blender in the order listed (starting with the liquids). Process until smooth and well combined.
- Add the blended oat flour back into the blender and blend until fully incorporated.
- Carefully fold in chopped walnuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the greased or parchment-lined loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve or keep it in an airtight container for later.
