Cottage Cheese Banana Bread
This banana bread is a delightful twist on the classic, made extra moist and protein-packed with the addition of cottage cheese.
Equipment
- Loaf Pan
- Mixer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the cottage cheese, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, cover it with foil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
