Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe bananas very spotty
  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter for the pan
  • maple syrup and fresh berries for serving

Method
 

  1. **Blend.** Combine bananas, cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a blender.
  2. **Smooth.** Blend on high for 60 seconds until smooth. Scrape the sides and blend 30 more seconds.
  3. **Rest.** Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken and hydrate the oats.
  4. **Heat.** Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  5. **Cook.** Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes.
  6. **Serve.** Stack pancakes and top with maple syrup, fresh berries, and an extra dollop of Greek yogurt if you like.

Notes

Use very ripe, spotty bananas. Firm bananas taste bland and do not sweeten the batter. Blend cottage cheese completely smooth. Lumpy cottage cheese creates weird pockets in the pancakes. Rest the batter 5 minutes before cooking. This makes the pancakes fluffier.
