Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular flour
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Mix-ins

  • Chocolate chips or any desired mix-ins

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or blender, mix together the eggs, cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Using a blender can make the batter extra creamy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the gluten-free or regular flour, cinnamon, and baking powder into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in any optional additions like chocolate chips if using, ensuring even distribution through the batter.
  4. Heat Skillet: Warm a large skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each. Cook for 3-5 minutes on one side until bubbles form and edges look set, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with additional maple syrup and your choice of toppings for a cozy breakfast treat.

Notes

  • If using a blender, add all ingredients at once for easier mixing.
  • Use gluten-free flour if you need a gluten-free option.
  • For best texture, do not substitute flax eggs for actual eggs in this recipe.
  • Adjust cooking heat as needed to avoid burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
  • Customize by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits as mix-ins.
