There is something special about a slow morning. The kind where you pull on your favorite wool sweater, light a candle even though it is daytime, and make pancakes while the coffee brews in the background. That is exactly the feeling behind these banana pancakes.

Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 ripe soft banana
- 3 large tablespoons cottage cheese
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 small pinch baking soda
- 1 dl oats
- 1 dl whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- Optional: a splash of milk if the batter feels too thick
Toppings:
- Hazelnut chocolate spread
- Raspberry jam
- Fresh blueberries
- Powdered sugar
....Or whatever toppings make your morning feel cozy
How to make banana pancakes:
- Add the eggs, banana, and cottage cheese to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add salt, baking soda, oats, whole wheat flour, and vanilla protein powder.
- Blend again until you get a thick pancake batter.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes so the oats can soften.
- Heat a pan over medium heat with a little butter or oil.
- Pour small pancakes into the pan and cook until golden on both sides.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
The pancakes should be soft in the middle with slightly crispy edges - the perfect balance for a cozy breakfast.

Tips for the best banana pancakes:
Use a very ripe banana - The softer and sweeter the banana, the better the flavor.
Adjust the batter - If the batter feels too wet, add a little more oats or flour. If it feels too thick, add a splash of milk.
Keep the heat medium - Too much heat can burn the outside before the inside cooks.
Enjoy!!
