Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Description
Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes use blended rolled oats as a base, creating a smooth batter enriched with banana and cottage cheese for moisture and mild tang. Egg whites and baking powder provide lift and structure, while cinnamon adds warmth. The chocolate chips incorporated into the batter create small bursts of melted chocolate within the pancakes. Cooking on a greased skillet until bubbles appear on the surface and flipping to cook through yields pancakes that are tender and moist rather than dense or dry.
The finishing touch of banana slices and maple syrup adds freshness and syrupy sweetness that balances the creamy cottage cheese and soft oats. These pancakes are suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a protein-rich snack due to the cottage cheese and eggs.
The recipe works well with quick-cooking oats as a substitute, and blending the ingredients ensures an even texture. Adding the chocolate chips after blending prevents them from breaking down and keeps them distinct in the finished pancakes. Cooking over medium heat helps achieve golden edges without burning the exterior before the pancake cooks through.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (quick-cooking oats will also work)
- ¼ cup banana about 1 small banana, mashed
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup egg white
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Place all ingredients except the chocolate chips into a blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter onto a greased skillet.

Notes
- Use quick-cooking oats if rolled oats are not available; it won’t change the texture significantly.

- Top pancakes with fresh banana slices and maple syrup for enhanced flavor.
