Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Optional
Wet Ingredients
  • 4 pieces ripe bananas
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Loaf Pan
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, then set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the cottage cheese, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sugar.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean.
  6. Let the loaf cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For a touch of extra flavor, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
