Instructions

In a blender, combine cottage cheese, oats, banana, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon if using. Blend until mostly smooth but slightly textured.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
Serve warm with toppings of your choice such as fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
To add even more protein, stir in a scoop of protein powder and thin with milk if needed.
These pancakes are freezer-friendly for make-ahead meals.
