Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, and eggs until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite pancake toppings.
Notes
- These pancakes freeze well. Layer them with parchment paper and store in an airtight container.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
