Ingredients List
Main Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
Ezoic
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Each ingredient plays a thoughtful role. Cottage cheese adds moisture, protein, and structure without heaviness. Ripe bananas bring natural sweetness and flavor. Eggs bind everything together. Honey provides gentle sweetness that pairs beautifully with banana. Flour gives the loaf shape, baking soda helps it rise, cinnamon adds warmth, and salt balances the sweetness.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the cottage cheese and stir until mostly smooth.
Whisk in the eggs and honey until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Smooth the top gently.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The loaf will continue to set as it cools, making slicing easier.
