Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together.
In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine; do not overmix.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve warm with extra maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a fluffier pancake, separate the egg whites and beat them until fluffy before folding them into the batter.
Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries for added flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast option during the week.
