Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes Recipe | Easy and Delicious Healthy Option

I came up with these banana cottage cheese pancakes on a lazy Sunday when I had one overripe banana and half a tub of cottage cheese sitting in the fridge. I mixed them on a whim, and honestly, it turned into one of the softest, fluffiest breakfasts I’ve ever made. The banana keeps them naturally sweet, while the cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and a boost of protein perfect for slow mornings or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup oat flour or blended rolled oats
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon optional
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Method
 

  1. Mash the banana in a large bowl until smooth; a few small chunks are fine for added texture.
  2. Stir in the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mix and stir gently until just blended. Don’t overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the top.
  7. Flip carefully and cook on the other side until golden brown.
  8. Keep the cooked pancakes warm on a plate or in a low oven while you finish the batch.

Notes

  • The banana should be really ripe for the best sweetness and flavour.
  • If you like smooth pancakes, blend the batter for a few seconds before cooking.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2–3 days. Just reheat them in a toaster or skillet.
