      \"1\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Preheat oven to\u00a0350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>\u00a0and grease your baking dish.
      \"2\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0In a large bowl, whisk eggs, honey, vanilla, and cottage cheese until creamy.
      \"3\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Mix in mashed bananas.
      \"4\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Gently fold in oats and baking powder.
      \"5\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Pour into baking dish and smooth the top.
      \"6\ufe0f\u20e3\"\u00a0Bake for\u00a035\u201340 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0until center is set and top turns lightly golden.
