Kid Approved - Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Bear loves these and I can feel ok about him snacking on them because they are filled will healthy ingredients!

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 banana
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 TBSP milk or milk substitute

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth - batter will be a bit runny.
Cook in skillet over medium-high heat; you can use butter but I found I didn't need it in my nonstick pan. Make them mini for toddler finger foods! I also make a double batch and freeze half for later.
