Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until the batter comes together. Adjust with extra milk if batter is too thick.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
