Tips
Both oatmeal, cardamom, and bananas add a mildness and sweetness that is delicious in these cottage cheese pancakes. To get the most out of the flavours, use ripe bananas with a yellow peel and brown spots as they add more natural sweetness.
Tips
Bake the pancakes on a non-stick pan to prevent them from sticking to the pan and making it easier to flip them. Bake them over medium heat to ensure that they are evenly baked without burning and come out with a perfect golden-brown colour.
Tips
Though the recipe only serves 2, you can easily whip up more pancakes. They are quick to make on a busy weekday or a relaxed weekend morning, and you can freeze them so you always have a quick breakfast or snack ready in the freezer.
