• Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Step 2: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas and stir in the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Step 3: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should have a slightly lumpy texture.
• Step 4: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Scoop the batter onto the hot surface, using approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
• Step 5: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
• Step 6: Serve the banana cottage cheese pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
