Can I use regular cheese instead of cottage cheese?

Absolutely! While the cottage cheese adds a lovely creamy texture, you can definitely swap in other types of cheese, like ricotta, cream cheese, or even shredded cheddar or Parmesan.

Are these bites gluten-free?

Unfortunately, no - this recipe uses all-purpose flour, which contains gluten. However, you could try substituting a gluten-free flour blend to make these bites gluten-free.

Can I make these bites ahead of time?

Yes, these bites are perfect for making ahead! You can prepare the batter up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to bake. Or, you can bake the bites in advance and reheat them as needed.

How do I store leftovers?

Leftover bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the bites for up to 3 months.

Can I use overripe bananas in this recipe?

Absolutely! In fact, the riper the bananas, the better. The extra sweetness and moisture from overripe bananas will create an incredibly moist and flavorful bite.
