Notes
Use small-curd cottage cheese for creamier texture. Add granola just before eating to keep it crunchy. For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with thick coconut or almond yogurt. Riper bananas add more sweetness. Optional cinnamon can be swapped with nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for variation.
