Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 large ripe banana
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt
Butter or oil for frying
Directions:
Blend the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, cottage cheese, ripe banana, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth, making sure everything is well incorporated.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake.
Flip and Serve: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully and cook until both sides are lightly golden.
Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
Notes:
You can also blend in some protein powder for an extra protein boost.
For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative or substitute with yogurt.
