Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon cooking oil

To Serve (Optional)

  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Batter: In a blender, combine the mashed banana, cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, about 30–45 seconds. The batter will be thick but pourable; if it seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water and blend briefly.
  2. Preheat Pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
  3. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed.
  4. Serve: Stack pancakes on plates. Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, nut butter, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For extra protein, add 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder to the batter.
  • These pancakes freeze well; let cool completely, then freeze with parchment between layers.
  • If using quick oats, use the same quantity; they help the batter blend even smoother.
  • Sweeten to taste—ripe bananas add plenty of sweetness, but you can add a touch of honey if needed.
  • Dairy-free? Try using non-dairy cottage cheese substitutes.
