Description

These Fluffy Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes are light, fluffy, and packed with protein. The sweet banana flavor pairs perfectly with the richness of cottage cheese, making these pancakes a healthy and delicious breakfast option.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup oat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Butter or oil for cooking (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

  2. Add Dry Ingredients:
    Add the oat flour (or all-purpose flour), baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. If you prefer sweeter pancakes, add honey or maple syrup at this stage.

  3. Heat the Pan:
    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

  4. Cook the Pancakes:
    Pour about ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • These pancakes are naturally sweetened by the banana, but you can add more sweetness with honey or syrup if you like.
  • For a dairy-free version, you can use dairy-free cottage cheese and a non-dairy milk substitute.
  • You can also add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
