These high-protein pancakes are a quick and satisfying breakfast. Made in one bowl with ripe banana and creamy cottage cheese, they are naturally sweetened and perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
  3. Sprinkle the flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Notes

For gluten-free pancakes, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Do not overmix the batter. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven. These freeze well for meal prep.
