Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 cup natural maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup natural plant-based butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth but slightly chunky for texture. Gently stir in the plant-based cottage cheese to distribute evenly without making the mixture too liquidy.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, and natural gelling agent until thoroughly combined to form the structural base of the bake.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the banana and plant-based cottage cheese mixture. Add the maple syrup, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and softened plant-based butter. Stir carefully until the batter is well combined but not overmixed.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with plant-based butter. Pour the batter evenly into the dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before slicing. This step helps the plant-based cottage cheese set, making it easier to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for optimal natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bake light and tender.
  • Room temperature ingredients help achieve a smooth, even mixture.
  • Oven temperatures may vary; adjust baking time as needed for best results.
  • Let the bake cool before cutting to enhance texture and flavor.
