Delicious and healthy Easy Oat Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes made with simple ingredients like rolled oats, ripe bananas, cottage cheese, and warm spices. These pancakes are fluffy, naturally sweetened, and perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: About 10-12 pancakes (serves 3-4)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas (the riper, the sweeter your pancakes will be)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (whole milk or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for serving, if you want)

For Cooking

  • Oil spray or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare oat flour: Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to your blender. Blend until the mixture looks like fine flour, about 30 seconds. Pour the oat flour into a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Blend wet ingredients: In the now empty blender, add the bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, oil, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine mixtures: Pour the wet cottage cheese mixture over the oat flour in the bowl. Stir gently until well incorporated into a pancake batter. If you have a high-speed blender, you can blend all ingredients together at once but be sure to scrape the sides to ensure everything is pureed evenly.
  4. Heat skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook pancakes: Scoop scant ¼-cup portions of batter into the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and continue cooking with the remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
  7. Storage: Let pancakes cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for 4-5 days or freeze for up to one month.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
  • You can use either whole milk or low-fat cottage cheese depending on preference.
  • If you don’t have oil spray, butter or any neutral oil works well to grease the skillet.
  • High-speed blenders like Vitamix can blend all ingredients together without separating into wet and dry.
  • Adjust the cooking heat to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
  • Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness and freeze to extend shelf life.
