Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
• 2 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp kosher salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• ¼ cup of milk of your choice
• 3 tbsp peanut butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• Topping: extra peanut butter and maple syrup

Method

1. Combine eggs, cottage cheese, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and peanut butter in a blender; blend until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
3. Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
4. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or pan over medium-low heat.
5. Scoop about 1/2 cup of batter onto the griddle and spread gently with a spoon, since the batter is thick.
6. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once bubbles appear at the edges, until golden and cooked through.
7. Serve warm topped with extra peanut butter and maple syrup.
