🥞 High Protein Banana Oatcakes

Start your morning strong with these High Protein Banana Oatcakes 💪 — a delicious blend of wholesome oats, creamy cottage cheese, and naturally sweet bananas. This recipe is perfect for a muscle-building breakfast or a post-workout meal that keeps you full and energized without the extra fat.


🍌 Why You'll Love This Recipe

These oatcakes are light yet satisfying, offering the perfect balance of complex carbs and lean protein. The cottage cheese adds a smooth texture and rich flavor, while the ripe banana provides natural sweetness. With just a touch of cinnamon and sugar, every bite feels comforting and indulgent — minus the guilt!

✨ Highlights:

  • High in protein (30g per serving!)
  • Great for meal prep or quick mornings
  • Gluten-free if using certified oats
  • Easily customizable with your favorite add-ins (protein powder, chia seeds, or blueberries!)

🧑‍🍳 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!


🍽️ Serving Ideas

Serve these oatcakes warm and top with:

  • Fresh fruit slices 🍓
  • A drizzle of honey or maple syrup 🍯
  • A spoon of Greek yogurt or nut butter 🥜

For an extra boost, pair them with a vanilla protein shake or a black coffee to round out your post-workout refuel.
