Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 piece ripe banana, mashed The riper the banana, the sweeter the pancakes.
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat for a healthier option.
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mashed banana, and eggs. Whisk until well-blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Cooking
  1. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  2. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  3. Repeat with the remaining batter, and serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Serve with toppings like maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or fresh berries. These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to two months.
