Step 1

Add oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, pumpkin, baking powder pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon into a blender and process until the batter is relatively smooth.

Step 2

Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 3

Once hot, scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time and pour onto pan. (You should be able to make about 8 small pancakes.)

Step 4

Cook until little bubbles form and the edges of the pancakes are solid enough to put a spatula underneath, about 4-6 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for one to two additional minutes.

Step 5

For serving, place four pancakes on each plate and drizzle with maple syrup and/or nut butter.
