Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 large banana
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- OPTIONAL: fruits, maple syrup
Instructions
- Place the oats in a high speed blender and blend until minced. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the oil, and blend until just combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drizzle with a tiny bit of coconut oil.
- Add batter with a 1/4 measuring cup, dropping about 4 pancakes per batch.
- Since the batter is on the thick side, you can help them spread just a bit with your spatula.
- Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
- Serve with fresh fruits and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes
- Leftover cottage cheese pancakes store really well in the fridge or freezer! We love to make an extra batch and store in the freezer for a quick breakfast option. Here’s how to store them, so they stay fresh longer:
- In the refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 4 days.
- In the refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 4 days.
- In the freezer: Flash freeze the pancakes by placing them on a sheet pan (not touching), and freeze for about 30 minutes. Then, transfer them to freezer-safe bags or containers, and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Label the bag with the date!

- How to reheat: Once you’re ready to eat, you can reheat from frozen! Microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm. You can also heat these in a toaster, toaster oven or air fryer.
