Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup milk any variety
2 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
2 medium ripe bananas
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups rolled oats quick-cooking or old-fashioned

Instructions

In the following order, add ½ cup milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup cottage cheese2 medium ripe bananas, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 cups rolled oats to a blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth and the batter is fully incorporated.
Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with butter or cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Once the skillet is heated, drop batter by ¼ cup onto the skillet, leaving at least 1 inch of space between pancakes.
Cook the pancakes until the edges are set and tiny bubbles appear on surface. Flip, and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until set. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with more cooking spray and the remaining batter.
Serve as desired with berries, syrup, nut butter, or sliced banana.

Notes

Oats: Use rolled oats NOT steel-cut oats! And be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need these to be 100% free from gluten.

Cottage Cheese: Use full-fat or reduced-fat cottage cheese, NOT fat-free cottage cheese as the texture and flavor are different.

Store: Let pancakes cool, then store in an airtight container with parchment between layers. Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, covered with a damp paper towel.

Freeze: Freeze cooled pancakes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave or toaster oven for about 2 minutes.
