  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Then mix in the cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, vanilla whey protein powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
