Blender Cottage Cheese Pancakes (Toddler Friendly)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 banana mashed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Blend: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable. Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes before cooking – this helps it thicken.
- Cook: Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.
- Pour & Flip: Pour small pancake rounds onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Let them cool slightly and serve as-is or with a drizzle of nut butter or yogurt for extra protein.
