These Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Pancakes offer a deliciously moist and fluffy breakfast option that combines the creamy texture of cottage cheese with the warm flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and easy to customize with mix-ins like chocolate chips, these pancakes are perfect for a wholesome morning treat or cozy brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 eggs (I don’t recommend flax eggs here)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour or regular flour
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Any desired mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or blender, mix together the eggs, cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined. If using a blender, add all ingredients at once for easy blending.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep pancakes tender.
  3. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips if desired, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
  4. Heat Skillet: Warm a large skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and edges are set.
  6. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from heat and serve immediately, drizzled with extra maple syrup and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs rather than flax eggs for best texture and rise.
  • You can substitute regular all-purpose flour if gluten-free is not required.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on personal preference.
  • Keep heat on medium-low to ensure pancakes cook through without burning.
  • Mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts add texture and flavor but are optional.
  • For dairy-free, try substituting cottage cheese with a vegan alternative, though texture may vary.
