Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full fat recommended
- 1 medium banana ripe, spotty
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- butter, oil or non-stick spray for pan
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth.
- Heat a large griddle or frying pan over low medium heat. Lightly coat with butter, oil or non-stick spray.
- Add ¼ cup of batter per pancake to the hot pan. Cook about 2 ½-3 minutes until pancakes puff up and bubbles form throughout. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the underside is golden brown.
- Top with your favorite pancake toppings like maple syrup and freshly sliced bananas.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana. They should have plenty of brown spots.
- Cook on medium-low. This helps prevent the outside from browning too quickly.
- Wait to flip until bubbles form. The edges should look set before flipping.
