Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Base Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large ripe banana
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Spices and Leavening Agents:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Ingredient:
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Pulverize the ingredients in a blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency, combining oats, cottage cheese, ripe banana, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and milk.
- Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (around 350°F), applying a thin layer of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Gently ladle small circular portions of batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake to spread naturally.
- Monitor the pancake’s surface for emerging bubbles, which typically appear within 2-3 minutes, indicating the first side is cooking.
- Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula, revealing a golden-brown surface underneath.
- Cook the second side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving an even, appetizing golden color and ensuring complete cooking throughout.
- Transfer the fluffy pancakes to serving plates, presenting them while warm and inviting.
- Enhance the dish with optional toppings like pure maple syrup, vibrant fresh fruits, or a creamy dollop of yogurt.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and enhanced banana flavor, which helps reduce added sugar.
- Blend ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter that creates consistently fluffy pancakes.
- Opt for low-fat cottage cheese to make the recipe lighter while maintaining protein content and creamy texture.
- Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking to help oats absorb liquid and improve pancake consistency.
