Ingredients
  

  • 1 very ripe banana
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 scoops vanilla flavored protein powder with my scoop, this comes to just under 1/2 cup (1/4 cup plus 3 Tablespoons)

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk To thin batter, add additional 1 Tablespoon at a time.

Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Notes

  1. Add all ingredients to the blender.  Using pulses, blend the ingredients (scraping down the sides) until everything is incorporated.  
  2. Remove the blender blade,  and add any desired mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips)
  3. Allow the batter to rest while pre-heating the griddle or pan. Spray with cooking spray.
  4. Heat griddle or pan over low to medium heat. Check that the pan is ready by adding a few drops of water to it, and look for a sizzle.
  5. Pour your batter directly from the blender, or spoon your batter onto the preheated, prepared pan.
  6. Look for the edges to firm up and bubbles to appear on top of pancakes.
  7. Cook these pancakes "low and slow" to prevent the outside from becoming too dark.
