→ For Serving

09 - Top with fruit, cinnamon, powdered sugar, or more maple syrup

# Instructions:

01 - Throw cottage cheese, milk, melted butter, maple syrup, and eggs into a blender. Blend it all together until creamy and smooth—no uneven bits left behind.
02 - Sprinkle in the flour and baking powder, then carefully fold them into the blended mixture. Don’t overmix—stop when it's thick but still easy to pour.
03 - Feeling creative? Fold in your favorite mix-ins like ripe bananas, chocolate chips, or juicy blueberries.
04 - Warm up a non-stick pan on medium heat. Pour small scoops of batter for the size you want. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip. Cook another 2 minutes ‘til golden and ready.
05 - Layer your warm pancakes onto a plate. Pile on toppings like berries, a dusting of sugar, a swirl of syrup, or a pinch of cinnamon. They're best eaten fresh!

# Notes:

01 - I’m loving these cottage cheese pancakes! They’re a weekend must—only need 10 minutes to make.
02 - Adding cottage cheese not only boosts the protein but keeps them wonderfully moist and soft.
03 - They're the ultimate blank canvas—add toppings from chocolate to fruit, totally your call!
