Total Time: 4 minutes
Difficulty: Very easy
Ingredients
For the Cottage Cheese Pancakes:
-
½ cup (120g) cottage cheese
-
1 egg
-
1 tbsp oats or almond flour (optional for texture)
-
¼ tsp baking powder (optional but makes them fluffier)
-
Pinch of salt
-
Sweetener to taste (e.g. honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
-
Dash of vanilla or cinnamon (optional)
For the Flourless Pudding:
-
1 ripe banana (mashed)
-
1 egg
-
1 tbsp cocoa powder
-
Splash of milk (any kind)
-
Sweetener to taste
-
Optional: pinch of instant coffee, vanilla, or sea salt for depth
Instructions
1. Make the Pancake Batter:
In a bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, egg, oats or almond flour (if using), baking powder, sweetener, and any flavorings. Mix until just combined — the batter will be thick and a little lumpy.
2. Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon small portions of the batter onto the pan. Cook 1–2 minutes per side, flipping carefully. They should be golden and set.
3. Make the Flourless Pudding:
While the pancakes are cooking, mash banana in a microwave-safe bowl. Add egg, cocoa powder, milk, and sweetener. Mix well.
Microwave the pudding mixture on high for 1–1½ minutes. It will puff slightly and set into a soft, cake-like pudding.
4. Assemble and Enjoy:
Serve warm cottage cheese pancakes alongside the rich chocolate pudding. Top with fresh berries, yogurt, nut butter, or a sprinkle of nuts/seeds for extra nutrition and flavor.
