Boy oh boy do I have a tasty recipe to share with you guys. It’s a delicious, healthy and filling breakfast that feels like a special treat.
I present to you, banana bread protein pancakes!
Oh baby.
The recipe is very similar to my pumpkin protein pancakes but I’m even more enamored with this creation. The pancakes honestly taste like banana bread.
Banana Bread Protein Pancakes
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 5 mins
- Total Time: 10 mins
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Spray pan with cooking spray and heat to a medium heat
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and blend with an immersion blender until batter is relatively smooth and all ingredients are fully mixed
- Pour batter onto the warm pan to form four medium-sized pancakes
- Allow to cook until edges start to harden, about three minutes
- Flip pancakes and allow to cook until batter is no longer runny, about two more minutes
- Top with syrup, pumpkin pie spice and banana slices and enjoy
For those of you who are terrified of cottage cheese, rest assured you cannot taste it in these pancakes one tiny bit and all the lumps are annihilated from the immersion blender. And yes, I just used the word “annihilated” when referring to making pancakes. What is this? Some kind of a video game?
I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I did!

This is my first time pay a quick visit at here and
i am truly happy to read all at alone place.
Hello julie I’m gonna try this
Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net
the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while
people think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
What about egg protein how you do that
These look great & I love how easy they would be for a nice change to my normal breakfast routine of yogurt & granola … but I don’t like bananas. Would anything else work? Blueberries? Applesauce? Thanks!
great points altogether, you simply received a logo new reader.
What may you suggest about your post that you just made a few
days in the past? Any sure?
Hi, if I’m lactose intolerant what can I use instead of the cottage cheese?
Thanks
i’m also lactose intolerant and the cottage cheese actually doesn’t bother me, somehow. i know there are varying levels of lactose intolerance, though. cottage cheese is kind of a “secret” ingredient to make the pancakes super moist and fluffy, so i’m not sure what you could replace them with!
i am lactose intolerant too, and like most, yogurt doesnt bother me. my guess would be that greek yogurt would work?

Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thank you!
Made these the other day! They were amazing! Thank you!
So glad to hear this!
I just discovered your blog, and absolutely LOVE it!
I tried these banana bread protein pancakes this morning, and they were amazing! I wasn’t hungry all morning! I’m going to try the oatmeal protein pancakes next!
Thank you so much for posting all these yummy recipes!
I made these this morning!! and they were absolutely amazing!! Just like banana bread! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Yayyy!!
Just made these this morning! Tastey and easy just the way I like. What a great kickstart to what is bound to be an awesome day 🙂
These were delicious! And very easy! Thanks.
These were so yummy!
I hard a hard time flipping them though -any tips?
Still tasted amazing though; I love the chewy texture that the oats add!
I’ve tried these pancakes and they are pretty special. I got a waffle maker for Christmas specifically to see if I can make healthy waffles.
My daughter (6) and I tried these today and we LOVE them. Thanks for sharing!
I substituted greek yogurt for the cottage cheese – worked great!
Wow these pancakes look so incredible, they’re definitely making me hungry. I’m not usually a fan of cottage cheese though, albeit I’ve never tried it within a recipe like this. I’ll have to try it out for myself!

Thanks for reposting this recipe, I tried it for the first time this weekend as an after workout breakfast, loved it so much that I had it today again. I made some modifications (almond milk & chocolate) and topped the pancakes with tahini. It’s prefect, thank you so much 🙂

Can’t wait to try these pancakes for me and my 2 year old granddaughter that I keep every Monday. I love all your recipes and your various fun adventures and shenanigans! I enjoy your blog very much!

This looks so good! I was just looking for a healthy banana bread recipe and I came across your blog. I’m going to explore more of your recipes now haha. It’s fall and I am getting ready to enjoy lots of yummy foods!

I’m officially obsessed with these!! Wondering if I can make ahead and freeze? Or how long would they last in the fridge? thank you!!
Julie, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have been making it for at least a decade now. I am more likely to have greek yogurt on hand than cottage cheese, so I usually make that swap.
These are so easy and a great way to enjoy and change up my protein, rather than eating greek yogurt. Or cottage cheese, or eggs. If I am making them to use up bananas, I make 3, not 4, cakes on a skillet. If I make a batch, I pull out my electric griddle and generally end up with 1 extra.
I love these with maple syrup and an extra sprinkling of cinnamon. They are especially good topped with some toasted walnuts and honey. Sometimes I get fancy and add some coconut whipped cream and nutmeg!
Again, thanks so much, Julie!!
