Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
½ cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
Pinch of salt
Olive or coconut oil, for cooking
Optional Toppings:
Fresh banana slices
Drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Greek yogurt or extra cottage cheese
Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
Add cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, then whisk until well combined.
Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a thick but pourable batter forms.
Step 2: Cook the Fluffy Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with olive or coconut oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!
Stack the pancakes and top with banana slices, a drizzle of honey, and a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
Add chopped nuts, berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra texture and flavor.
These Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes are not only deliciously fluffy but also packed with protein and fiber, making them a healthy and satisfying breakfast choice. Enjoy them fresh, or freeze for a quick grab-and-go meal!
