  1. High in protein. An average piece of banana bread only contains a measly 2.6g of protein per slice, but our Cottage Cheese Banana Bread blows that number out of the water with 13.2g per serving.
  2. Easy to make. I love recipes that are simple, and minimal, and give me a confidence boost in the kitchen. This is the kind of recipe that anyone can follow – you can’t mess this up!
  3. Moist and filling. The addition of cottage cheese to this recipe infuses our banana bread with moisture and protein. No dry bread here!

  1. Any chance this could be made with almond flour? I’m just starting to use almond flour so don’t really don’t know how it stacks up to all purpose when baking

    • Hi Shelbie! I haven’t tried it with almond flour, but I think it would be just fine. Almond flour tends to be a bit drier, so you may need to add a little extra liquid!

    • Hi Janie! Yes, it should be fine if you forgo the protein powder. I would just recommend replacing it with additional flour. Let me know how it goes!
