Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes
These banana cottage cheese pancakes are fluffy, lightly sweet, and packed with protein. The batter blends in minutes for an easy, high-protein breakfast.
Equipment
- Blender
- Nonstick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon Light Butter for the pan
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, bananas, eggs, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm, topped with sliced bananas, berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 8 to 10 small pancakes, or roughly 2 servings.
- The batter is best cooked right away, as it thickens the longer it sits.
- For a protein boost, blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder and a splash of milk to thin the batter.
