Ingredients
Scale
Batters 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: Mash two ripe bananas thoroughly in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add one cup of cottage cheese, two eggs, and one cup of oats to the bowl, then stir in one teaspoon of baking powder. Mix all ingredients well until you achieve a consistent batter.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to preheat for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancake Bites: Pour small spoonfuls of the batter into the preheated skillet, forming bite-sized pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface, indicating they are ready to flip.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancake bites using a spatula, and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked pancake bites onto a serving plate. Serve warm with optional toppings such as honey or yogurt for added flavor and creaminess. Enjoy immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Rolled oats provide a chewier texture; quick oats can be used but may alter texture.
- Substitute eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option.
- Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rise.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring thorough cooking inside.
- Serve with honey, yogurt, or fresh fruit toppings if desired.
