Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2/3 cup Egg whites
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 2 Bananas
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Butter
To Serve
- Fresh fruit
- Syrup
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking the pancakes evenly.
- Prepare the batter: While the skillet is heating, add the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, bananas, baking powder, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend the mixture for 1-2 minutes until smooth. The batter will be slightly thin, which makes it easy to pour.
- Cook the pancakes: Once the skillet is hot, add half of the butter and reduce the heat to medium. Slowly pour the batter into the pan forming an even circle. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges turn golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
- Serve immediately: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve hot with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
- The batter is thin, but this is normal for these pancakes made without flour.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better blending.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
- Feel free to customize toppings to your preference such as nut butter or yogurt for extra protein.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, make sure baking powder is fresh and active.
