Ingredients
Batter Components
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp melted butter for added richness and flavor
Cooking Oil
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, blend the mashed bananas and cottage cheese until smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture if desired.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Then, incorporate this mixture into the banana and cottage cheese blend.
- In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil to coat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.
- Serve warm with maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt and fresh fruit on top.
Notes
For a delicious twist, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of walnuts to the batter. These pancakes freeze well, making them a great make-ahead option!
