# Ingredients:

→ Batter Ingredients

01 - 4 regular eggs (don’t swap with flax eggs—they won’t work)
02 - 1 and 1/2 cups of cottage cheese
03 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup (have more ready for serving!)
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
05 - 1 cup of all-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular flour if gluten isn’t a concern)
06 - Half a tablespoon of baking powder

→ Optional Extras

07 - Chocolate chips
08 - Fresh berries like blueberries
09 - Other fun add-ins you like

→ Cooking Necessities

10 - Cooking oil or butter for frying

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the eggs, maple syrup, cottage cheese, and vanilla in a big bowl until smooth. If you’d rather, toss them in a blender to make it even smoother.
02 - Stir the gluten-free flour and baking powder into the mix until the batter is well blended.
03 - If you’re adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or any other mix-ins, fold them gently into the batter.
04 - Warm up a skillet on medium-low heat, then grease it with some butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, leaving a couple of inches between each one.
05 - Let the pancakes cook for 3-5 minutes per side until they’re golden and cooked through.
06 - Take the pancakes off the heat and serve them hot. Drizzle with extra maple syrup or pile on your favorite toppings.

# Notes:

01 - These cottage cheese pancakes are a go-to breakfast that’s gluten-free and easy to whip up.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 5 days in an airtight container or frozen for as long as 2 months.
