What you need
The easy way
- Blend banana, eggs, cottage cheese, oats, cinnamon and vanilla until smooth.
- Rest the batter for 2 minutes. Lightly grease a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook small pancakes in batches, approximately 2–3 minutes on the first side, until the edges set.
- Flip carefully; cook approximately 1–2 minutes more, until the centers are cooked through. Check the egg-containing batter reaches 160°F.
- Serve with fruit. For later, refrigerate promptly and pack cold; reheat leftovers to 165°F.
Feel your way there. Times are guardrails. Use the texture and doneness cues when your pan, oven, or morning has other plans.
