How to Make 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Banana Bread

Step 1: Mash the Bananas

In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper they are, the sweeter your bread will be—those brown spots are pure gold!

Step 2: Mix in Cottage Cheese

Add the cottage cheese and stir until fully combined. It may look a little lumpy—that’s perfectly fine and adds character.

Step 3: Add Flour

Fold in the flour gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—this keeps the bread soft and tender.

Step 4: Bake

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool & Slice

Let it cool before slicing (if you can wait!). The aroma alone will test your patience.
