Banana Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes

recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a stack of warm pancakes on a weekend morning. These banana cottage cheese pancakes are a family favorite because they are simple to whip up in your blender and keep everyone full until lunch.
I love how the cottage cheese creates such a creamy texture without you ever tasting it directly. Just make sure to blend your batter until it is nice and smooth before you pour it onto the hot pan.
