Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray or use a silicone pan.
• Place the mashed bananas in a large bowl, add the sugar and oil, and stir to combine. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, hemp hearts, and vanilla extract. Mix again.
• To that same bowl add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with the pecan nuts and bake in the oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing and serving.
