Instructions

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.

Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

Blend cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth; transfer to a bowl. Stir in melted butter or oil, mashed bananas, eggs, and brown sugar until well combined.

Stir banana mixture into flour mixture just until combined; do not overmix.

Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Internal temperature of quick bread should be 205 to 210 degrees F (96 to 98 degrees C). If needed, cover bread with aluminum foil the last 20 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.

Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Recipe developed by Barrett Heald

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Ripeness Magic 🍌
Use overripe bananas with dark brown or black spots for maximum sweetness and deeper banana flavor in your bread.
Cottage Cheese Smoothing Trick 🥛
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth to ensure a uniform texture and prevent any lumpy spots in your banana bread.
Moisture Preservation Technique 💧
Cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning and lock in moisture.
Protein Boost Hack 💪
For extra protein, consider folding in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or chopped nuts to complement the cottage cheese.
Perfect Mixing Method 🥄
Mix wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine just until incorporated to prevent gluten development and maintain a tender crumb.
