1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.5 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1.5 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, cottage cheese, maple syrup, egg, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is combined and you have a nice hearty batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top if desired.
Bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes until lightly browned over the top and set through the center.

Notes

Check the banana bread at the 20-25 minute mark. If it is browning too quickly place a piece of of foil over the top of the bread for the rest of the baking time.
