Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option)

2 large eggs

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil for the skillet

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the rolled oats, banana, cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the batter is too thick, feel free to add a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

    Preheat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or coconut oil.

      Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

        Repeat and Stack: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches. Stack the pancakes on a plate as they are cooked.

          Serve Warm: Top your fluffy protein pancakes with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or your favorite nut butter for an extra boost of flavor!
