Delicious and healthy oat banana cottage cheese pancakes that are easy to make and packed with protein. These fluffy pancakes combine the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with creamy cottage cheese and wholesome oats, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 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 desired

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 resembles 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 banana, eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, oil, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
