Equipment
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese - or 220 grams
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
- 2 ripe bananas
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - or seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod
Instructions
- Blend the rolled oats in a blender until they form a fine flour. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Combine all the ingredients in the order listed in a blender. Add the oat flour and process until smooth, about 30-40 seconds.
- Allow the batter to sit for 5-15 minutes, until thickened slightly.
- Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook ⅓ cup portions of the batter in the pan until bubbles form on the surface and the edges turn golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and serve warm with some maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Don't overmix the batter. Mix the ingredients until combined; about 30-40 seconds is the sweet spot.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5-15 minutes before cooking. This gives the oats time to absorb liquid, resulting in a lighter texture.
