Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, cottage cheese, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until you just combine them; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can blend the cottage cheese until smooth before adding it to the batter.
  • Sweeten to your liking; riper bananas mean more natural sweetness.
  • This bread freezes well once cooled. Wrap tightly before freezing.
