How to Make Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Step 1

Start by peeling the banana and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash it until it becomes smooth and soft, with very few lumps. Then, add the cottage cheese and mix it well with the banana. Crack the eggs into the bowl and stir everything together until the mixture looks creamy and well combined.

Next, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until you get a thick batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes less fluffy. Let the batter sit for a few minutes so the baking powder can start working.

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Once the pan is warm, pour small amounts of batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook each pancake for about 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Remove the pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm and enjoy!
