For the best texture, use rolled oats rather than instant oats. You can also substitute with almond flour. Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference or use a sugar substitute. If you don't have protein powder, you can omit it or substitute it with an equal amount of gluten-free oat flour or almond flour. Don't overcrowd the griddle; cook the pancakes in batches to ensure even cooking. For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative. These pancakes are delicious topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat (approximately 5 minutes).
02
Step
1 mins
In a high-speed blender, combine the gluten-free oats, protein powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder. Blend until the mixture reaches a fine, flour-like consistency (approximately 1 minute). Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
03
Step
1 mins
In the same blender (no need to wash it!), add the banana, eggs, cottage cheese, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy (approximately 1 minute).
04
Step
2 mins
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If the batter seems too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
05
Step
8 mins
Ladle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set. (approximately 6-10 minutes total cooking time per batch).
