Stacked Saturday…. With A Secret Ingredient!

I promise you won’t taste even one trace of the secret ingredient in these fluffy beauties. Coconut flour and banana do the trick!

Good morning everyone!!

I hope you’re having a beautiful day so far!

So I know you’re dying to know the secret ingredient in these bad boys…….

It’s not PB2, it’s not a fruit, it’s not a vegetable either…..

It’s COTTAGE CHEESE.

Wait! Don’t run away! I promise you won’t taste any of it!!!

The pancakes were inspired by Ambitious Kitchen’s original version, which I’ve also made before. They are awesome! So fluffy, warm, and banana-y! The cottage cheese is used in the batter for protein purposes and keeps them moist and delicious.

Still grossed out?

I promise the results are worth it!

Try something new, be daring!! 🙂

• Total Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients:
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 of a ripe banana
2 tbsp. coconut flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp. Liquid Egg Whites (or 1 regular egg white, but protein content will change)
1/4 cup cottage cheese (I used 1%)
1-2 tbsp. milk of choice, for thinning
For topping:
Maple syrup
1 tbsp. + 1 tsp PB2, with 1/2 tbsp. water or a little more

Directions:

1. Preheat a medium skillet on medium heat and mist with PAM.
2. Blend all ingredients together in your immersion or regular blender until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Add milk as necessary to thin the batter.
3. Drop batter by 2 tbsp. onto the hot skillet, and cook until the underside is firm enough to flip. Turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the PB2. Add 1/2 tbsp. + a tsp or 2 to the PB2 and stir until completely smooth.
5. Top with maple syrup and prepared PB2.
6. ENJOY! 🙂
