Ingredients

• ½ cup all-purpose flour, or whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup cottage cheese, I used Good Culture 4%
• 2 large eggs
• 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for topping
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon almond milk or cow milk

Instructions

1. Combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Add cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla to a blender or food processor and blend until combined and smooth. Alternatively, if you don't have a blender you can whisk your wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
3. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If your batter seems too thick add in the almond milk and stir to combine again.
4. Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Once hot, scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time and pour onto the pan. You may have to use a spoon to spread the batter into a circle shape if your batter is pretty thick. You should be able to make 8 pancakes. Cook until little bubbles form and the edges of the pancakes are solid enough to put a spatula underneath, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Flip the pancakes and cook for 2-3 additional minutes.
6. For serving, place four pancakes on each plate, top with a drizzle of maple syrup and serve with fresh berries or toppings of choice.
