Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. I love how the spices blend together, and you can almost smell the warmth filling the air. In another bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, mashed bananas, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. The cottage cheese adds a delightful creaminess, and the bananas lend just the right amount of natural sweetness. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
