steps
- 1.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, shredded apple, kefir, cottage cheese, and mashed dates. Mix well.
- 2.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- 3.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquid.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil.
- 5.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
