  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until no lumps remain.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
