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 desired
For Cooking
- Oil spray or butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare oat flour: Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to your blender. Blend until the mixture resembles flour, about 30 seconds. Pour the oat flour into a large bowl and set aside.
- Blend wet ingredients: In the now empty blender, add the banana, eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, oil, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the blended wet mixture over the oat flour in the bowl. Stir until thoroughly incorporated to create your pancake batter. Note: If using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, you can blend all ingredients together to finish in one step, ensuring you scrape down the sides to puree completely.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Scoop scant ¼-cup portions of batter into the hot skillet, forming pancakes. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges appear dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and store: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and continue with the remaining batter. Serve warm with extra maple syrup if desired. Let leftovers cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze for up to one month.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and better flavor.
- For a smoother batter, use a high-speed blender to blend all ingredients at once.
- You can substitute avocado oil with melted butter or any neutral oil.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to a month.
- Reheat pancakes on a skillet or in the microwave before serving.
