Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I like to mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until they’re smooth and creamy. You’ll want to ensure there are no lumps remaining! Once that’s done, add in the cottage cheese and mix them together. The combination of these two ingredients creates a beautifully creamy base that’s full of flavor. This is also the moment where my kitchen fills with the sweet aroma of banana, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
