# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the cottage cheese, milk, melted butter, eggs, and maple syrup into a blender. Give it a run until the mix turns silky smooth without any cottage cheese chunks hanging around.

Carefully mix the flour and baking powder into the wet blend. Don't overdo it—just stir till it's thick but still easy to scoop.

Love a little extra flavor? Mix in some chocolate chips, banana slices, or blueberries at this point!

Heat up a non-stick skillet on medium. Spoon in some batter to your preferred pancake size. Let it cook for around 2-3 minutes until little bubbles form up top, then flip it to cook the other side till it's golden and done.

Layer those warm pancakes on a plate. Add toppings like cinnamon, extra syrup, fresh fruit, or even powdered sugar. Grab a fork and dig in while they’re hot!

You can top these with literally anything—sweet berries or indulgent chocolate chips all work!
