Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (can substitute with low-fat cottage cheese)
- 2 pieces Ripe Bananas (must be very ripe for best flavor)
- 1 cup Oats (use rolled oats for chewier texture)
- 2 pieces Eggs (can substitute with flaxseed meal and water)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (ensure it’s fresh)
Instructions
- Preparation Instructions: Begin by mashing two ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add one cup of cottage cheese, two eggs, and one cup of oats to the bowl. Stir in one teaspoon of baking powder ensuring the mixture is well combined but not overmixed.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet on medium heat and allow it to preheat for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, coat the skillet lightly with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancake Bites: Pour small amounts of the batter onto the skillet to form bite-sized pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface of each bite.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake bite and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the cooked pancake bites to a plate and serve warm. These delicious bites pair wonderfully with honey or yogurt for added flavor and nutrition.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute eggs with a flaxseed meal and water mixture for a vegan version.
- Rolled oats provide a chewy texture; however, quick oats can be used if preferred.
- Ensure baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
