Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For Cooking
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, and 2 eggs. Stir well to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with your choice of maple syrup and whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier pancakes.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preference for spice intensity.
- For gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure light and tender pancakes.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated.
