Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup hearty rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • ¼ cup low-fat whipped cottage cheese
  • ½ medium ripe banana mashed
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds

Toppings/add-ins:

  • fresh seasonal berries
  • dark chocolate chips
  • natural peanut butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Mixture

  • Start by mashing the banana in a mixing bowl until smooth. Next, add the egg, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla essence. Mix everything together thoroughly.

Step 2: Mix in Oats and Cottage Cheese

  • Once you have a smooth mixture, fold in the rolled oats, cottage cheese, and chia seeds. Stir gently until well combined. Rest the mixture for a couple of minutes to let the oats absorb some moisture.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with oil or cooking spray. Pour about a quarter cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

  • Stack your pancakes high. Top with your favorite add-ins like fresh fruit, a drizzle of syrup, or chocolate chips. You might want to make a double batch; trust me, you’ll want more!

Notes

  • Use Ripe Bananas: The more spotty the banana, the sweeter the pancakes will be.
  • Customizable: Feel free to add nuts or seeds into the batter for extra crunch.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Mix just until combined to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Pan Temperature: Make sure your skillet isn’t too hot; you don’t want burnt pancakes.
  • Meal Prep: These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated for quick breakfasts.
