Soft, fluffy, and naturally sweet from ripe banana, these little pancake bites are an easy breakfast or snack. Cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and extra protein, while cinnamon gives every bite that cozy flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese

- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup, optional
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
- Add cottage cheese, eggs, mashed banana, vanilla, cinnamon, almond flour, and optional sweetener to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full.
