Fluffy Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes recipe with 3 unique twists to make breakfast tastier and more satisfying every morning

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, stirred but not pureed)
  • 2 large ripe bananas (mashed well to bring sweetness and moisture)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, adjust based on bananas’ ripeness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking (enough to lightly grease the pan)
  • Instructions

  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir together until well combined but small curds of cottage cheese may remain.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly mixed.
  • Bring the batter together: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold the batter with a spatula or large spoon until just combined. Batter will be thick and a bit lumpy. Stop mixing once no large flour pockets remain.
  • Rest the batter briefly: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to activate the baking powder and hydrate the flour.
  • Heat the pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil and spread evenly over the surface.
  • Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until golden on the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Keep pancakes warm: If making multiple batches, place cooked pancakes on a plate and loosely cover with foil.
  • Notes

    These fluffy banana cottage cheese pancakes combine ripe bananas with creamy cottage cheese for light, tender, protein-packed pancakes that are naturally sweet and perfect for a wholesome breakfast.
