Ingredients
½ ripe banana, mashed
2 tablespoons cottage cheese (small curd)
3 tablespoons oat flour (or ground oats)
1 egg white
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 tablespoon chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Mash the banana directly in a microwave-safe mug until smooth.
2. Add cottage cheese, egg white, vanilla, and honey. Stir well until combined.
3. Add oat flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix gently until the batter is smooth.
4. Fold in chocolate chips or walnuts for added texture if desired.
5. Microwave on high for 70–90 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power.
6. Let rest for 1 minute to set, then top with sliced banana or a drizzle of honey before enjoying warm.
Notes
Use small-curd cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
Substitute almond flour for oat flour for a low-carb variation.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and 1 teaspoon of milk to boost protein content.
For a vegan option, replace egg white with 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce.
