These quick and nutritious pancake bites are perfect for busy mornings, combining the creaminess of cottage cheese with the sweetness of bananas and the boost of protein.

Ingredients

Dried Goods

  • 1 medium Banana (Use well-ripened bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture.)
  • 1 cup Quick Oats (Creates a smoother texture.)
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (Provides protein and creaminess; Greek yogurt is a great substitute.)
  • 2 large Eggs (Acts as a binder and adds protein; consider flax eggs for a vegan option.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Enhances flavor beautifully; can be omitted for a neutral taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (Helps the bites rise for a fluffy texture.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (Adds warmth; nutmeg works well as a substitute too.)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt (Enhances all the flavors.)
  • 0.5 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (Adds sweetness, especially appealing to kids.)
  • 0.5 cup Chopped Nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans; provides extra crunch and healthy fats.)

Instructions 

  • In a mixing bowl, mash the banana and combine with cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts until well combined.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon mixture into a greased mini muffin tin.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your healthy breakfast bites!
