Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
15 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (about half a medium) mashed extra-ripe banana
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 tbsp. natural no-calorie brown sugar substitute that measures like sugar
1/4 oz. (about 1 tbsp.) finely chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Serving suggestions: light butter, sugar-free pancake syrup
Directions:
Place banana and cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. (You can skip this step if you don’t mind the cottage cheese curds; just drain it first.)
In a large bowl, combine flour, sweetener, walnuts, and cinnamon. Mix well. Add banana/cottage cheese mixture. Mix until dough forms.
Shape dough into 8 balls, about 2 tbsp. each.
Spray an air fryer with non-aerosol nonstick spray. Place balls in the air fryer, and spray them with nonstick spray.
Set air fryer to 360ºF. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 13–15 minutes.
MAKES 2 SERVINGS
Oven Alternative: Bake at 400ºF until golden brown, 16–18 minutes
HG Dough Tips: To prevent sticking, lightly dust your hands and work surface with flour and refrigerate dough for at least 15 minutes. The dough is easier to work with if you make it a day or two in advance.
