🧑‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Make the Batter

In a medium mixing bowl, combine:

  • Old-fashioned oats, egg whites, banana, cottage cheese, cinnamon, and sugar.
  • Mix with a spatula until the batter becomes smooth and well combined. 🍯

2. Cook the Oatcakes

  • Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium flame.
  • Spoon about one-quarter of the batter into the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Flip carefully — they firm up beautifully once browned.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.

Pro tip 💡: Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and creamy texture!
