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

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined into a thick batter.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Pancake Bites: Using a spoon or small scoop, drop dollops of the batter onto the hot pan to form small, bite-sized pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
  4. Flip and Cook Through: Carefully flip each pancake bite and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and place on a plate.
  5. Serve: Serve the pancake bites warm as a protein-packed snack or breakfast. Optionally, drizzle with honey, syrup, or fresh fruit for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • You can substitute eggs with a flaxseed meal and water mixture for a vegan option.
  • Rolled oats provide a chewier texture; quick oats may result in a softer bite.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rising.
  • Adjust oat quantity slightly if batter is too thin or thick.
  • These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated.
