Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper for easy lifting.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, bananas, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick batter forms.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently so they stay evenly scattered throughout the batter.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 26 to 32 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center feels set.
  8. Cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
  • Blend the cottage cheese mixture well for a smooth and tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
  • Let the cake cool before slicing so the squares hold their shape beautifully.
  • These breakfast cake squares store well in the fridge and are great for meal prep.
