These fluffy, high-protein blueberry banana pancakes are flour-free, quick to make, and perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch. Packed with protein and natural sweetness, they offer a guilt-free treat with a delightful burst of blueberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120g) small-curd cottage cheese, well-drained
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking
  • Optional sweetener like maple syrup or honey (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Mash the bananas in a medium mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remain (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add the eggs and cottage cheese to the mashed bananas and whisk until creamy and slightly thick (about 2 minutes).
  3. Stir in the vanilla protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing (about 2 minutes).
  4. Fold in the blueberries gently. If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or butter. Let it melt and coat the surface evenly (about 2 minutes).
  6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil while cooking the remaining batter to keep them soft and fluffy.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk to loosen without losing texture. Use medium heat to avoid burning or rubbery pancakes. Wait for bubbles and dry edges before flipping. For dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with coconut yogurt or silken tofu. Frozen blueberries can be added directly without thawing.
