Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 ripe banana, mashed

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Cooking spray or coconut oil, for frying

Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, nuts, or yogurt

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the rolled oats, cottage cheese, mashed banana, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the oats absorb some moisture and thicken the pancakes.

      Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil.

        Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.

          Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.

            Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

              Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt.
