  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 18 bites

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (120g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/4 cup (45g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the mashed banana, cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips gently if you choose to add them, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until the pancake bites are golden brown and puffed up.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the pancake bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Substitute mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for variety.
  • If you don’t have a blender, pulse ingredients in a food processor or mix thoroughly for a chunkier texture.
  • The pancake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave before serving for a warm treat.
