Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Warm the oven up to 175°F (350°F). A 9×5-inch loaf pan should be greased or lined with parchment paper.
Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk. Put away.
Put the melted butter and sugar in a big bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy.
Adding the eggs one at a time and mixing them in is the next step.
The mashed bananas and cottage cheese should be mixed in well.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them in until they are just combined. Be careful not to mix too much.
You can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts if you want.
Spread out the batter in the cake pan that has been made.
After the oven is hot, bake it for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then move it to a wire rack to cool all the way down before cutting it.
You can eat your cottage cheese banana bread for breakfast or as a healthy snack.
