Fluffy Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Craving a healthy and delicious breakfast? These pancakes are naturally sweet, protein-packed, and irresistibly fluffy. A perfect start to your day!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
- Honey, syrup, or additional cinnamon for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
In a blender, combine the rolled oats, cottage cheese, and the ripe banana. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a thick batter. - Add Remaining Ingredients:
Add the eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend again until everything is well incorporated and smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable. - Heat the Skillet:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or coconut oil to coat the surface. - Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through. - Serve & Enjoy:
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of honey, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can also top them with fresh fruits, nuts, or yogurt for an extra boost.
Tips:
- Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk (or your preferred dairy-free alternative) to loosen it up.
- Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Nut butter, berries, or even Greek yogurt can complement the pancakes perfectly.
- Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days or frozen for later.
Enjoy your fluffy, protein-rich pancakes!
