Description

Delightful pancakes featuring creamy cottage cheese and pumpkin puree for a light, fluffy breakfast.


Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular flour
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or blender, mix together the eggs, cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Mix in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until combined.
  3. If using any mix-ins, fold them into the batter gently.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  5. Using a 1/4 cup, scoop batter onto the skillet, leaving about 2 inches between each pancake.
  6. Cook for 3-5 minutes until edges begin to set and small bubbles appear on the surface.

  8. Serve warm with maple syrup and desired toppings.
