Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar Feel free to substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs Opt for flax eggs for a vegan twist.
  • 1/2 cup Neutral Oil (Avocado or Canola) Melted coconut oil can be used for a hint of tropical flavor.
  • 1 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese Best for optimal texture.
  • 2 cups Mashed Ripe Banana Use very ripe bananas for maximum deliciousness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla is recommended for the best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Standard table salt can be used, though it is often saltier.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Switch to whole wheat flour for a denser loaf.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for the best lift.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Ensure it's fresh for the best lift.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Consider using nuts or dried fruit for variation.

Equipment

  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the packed light brown sugar and large eggs until foamy. Add the neutral oil, full-fat cottage cheese, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Mix until smooth.
  3. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda over the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined, and fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
