Make these simple, high protein pancakes using banana and cottage cheese for a quick, healthy breakfast. This recipe focuses on efficiency for your busy schedule.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe medium banana
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten free blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or oil for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the banana, cottage cheese, eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt into a blender.
  2. Blend on medium-high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or oil.
  4. Pour batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes, using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
  6. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For a lower carb option, substitute the flour with 2 tablespoons of almond flour and 1 tablespoon of coconut flour.
  • If you do not have a blender, mash the banana very well, then vigorously whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
  • These pancakes are excellent for meal prep breakfast ideas; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
