### How To Make a Banana Cottage Cheese Pancake At Home
**Step 1**: To create the batter, combine oats, egg yolks, cottage cheese, bananas, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and baking powder in a blender. Blend until you reach a smooth consistency.
**Step 2**: Pour the batter onto a frying pan that’s been drizzled with butter. Flip to cook both sides until golden brown.
**Step 3**: Once the pancakes are cooked, drizzle with maple syrup and top with some sliced bananas.
### Expert Tips That I Recommend
– Allow the batter to rest for several minutes prior to cooking, as this permits the oats to absorb moisture and prevents runniness.
– Always cook pancakes at a low or medium flame for optimal results, allowing ingredients to cook properly.
– Preheat the skillet or griddle to a medium flame to avoid sticking.
– Ensure your skillet is evenly greased with butter or coconut oil, adding more if necessary after pouring the batter.
– For fluffy pancakes, refrain from pressing down after flipping, as this expels moisture and results in denser pancakes.
### FAQs About Banana Cottage Cheese Pancake
– **Why are my pancakes sticking to the pan?**
Ensure the skillet is non-stick, clean, and adequately greased. If the batter is too thick, add a touch of milk to adjust the consistency.
– **Why do my pancakes fall apart when I flip?**
This usually occurs if they haven’t set properly on one side. Allow them a little more time before flipping.
– **Why are my pancakes wet or undercooked in the center?**
Cooking over high heat can cause this. Ensure medium or low heat is used to achieve even cooking.
– **Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?**
Absolutely. You can make the batter a few hours in advance, just ensure to cover it well.
