Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt carefully until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface, then gently flip the pancakes.
- Finish cooking: Cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt for a complete breakfast.
Notes
- For a smoother batter texture, blend the batter briefly before cooking.
- Substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour to increase fiber content.
- Store any leftover pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
