Cottage Cheese Blender Pancakes

Step 1

Place the oats, baking powder, and salt in a blender; blend on high until the mixture looks like whole-wheat flour, about 30 seconds. Add the cottage cheese, milk, vanilla, 1 banana, and egg. Blend on high speed until smooth, 15 to 30 seconds.

Step 2

Coat a nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the griddle or pan over medium heat. Scoop a scant ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle or skillet; cook until the tops of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining banana and strawberries. Top the pancakes with the berry mixture.

Step 4

Serving size: 3 pancakes and about ⅔ cup fruit
