Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the bananas and mix wet ingredients. Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining for texture. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract, then stir until well combined to create the flavorful wet base.
  2. Step 2: Combine dry ingredients separately. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents for fluffy pancakes.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet. Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine and will help keep the pancakes tender.
  4. Step 4: Heat the skillet and cook. Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  5. Step 5: Flip and finish cooking. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Preheat the pan properly to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to activate the baking powder fully.
  • Use fresh baking powder to achieve maximum rise and fluffiness.
