Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Eggs
  • cup Egg whites
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 2 Bananas
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 dash Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Butter (for cooking)

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Large skillet

Method
 

Prep Your Skillet
  1. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat until a few drops of water sizzle and evaporate instantly. This initial heat is key for a good sear.
Blend the Batter
  1. In a blender, combine eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, bananas, baking powder, cinnamon, a tiny pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. The batter will be thin.
Cook the Pancakes
  1. Once the skillet is hot, add about half the butter to melt. Reduce the heat to medium. Slowly pour the batter into the pan, forming even circles. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the batter begins to bubble on the surface and the edges look set. The underside should be a beautiful golden-brown. Then, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.
Serve & Enjoy
  1. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

These naturally gluten-free, high-protein pancakes are perfect for meal prep. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. For best results, ensure the cottage cheese and banana are blended until completely smooth, and cook on a medium-heat non-stick skillet.
