5-Ingredient Banana Cottage Cheese Toast

Serves 2 · 5 min prep · 3 min cook

Ingredients

• 2 thick slices whole-grain bread slices
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 medium ripe banana
• 2 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts (optional boost)

Instructions

1. 1Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until deeply golden and crisp on the outside while still tender inside.
2. 2While the bread toasts, place the cottage cheese in a small bowl and stir vigorously with a fork or spoon for 20 to 30 seconds until it loosens and looks slightly creamier.
3. 3Peel the banana and slice it into thin coins on a slight bias so the pieces fan nicely.
4. 4Spread half the cottage cheese evenly over each hot toast, going all the way to the edges so every bite stays creamy.
5. 5Arrange the banana slices in a single overlapping layer on top of the cottage cheese.
6. 6Drizzle honey evenly over both toasts, letting it pool lightly in the banana curves.
7. 7Dust the tops generously with cinnamon and finish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts if you want extra crunch and healthy fats.
8. 8Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and the cottage cheese is cool and creamy for the best contrast.
9. 9For a make-ahead twist, keep whipped cottage cheese portioned in the fridge and assemble the toast in under 3 minutes on busy mornings.
