01 - 4 regular eggs (avoid using flax eggs for this)
02 - 1 ½ cups of cottage cheese
03 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup (plus some extra for drizzling on top!)

→ Cooking Essentials

10 - Butter or oil (for greasing the skillet)

# Instructions:

01 - In a big bowl, stir together the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla until it's all mixed up. Want it smoother? Toss everything in a blender instead!
02 - Add baking powder and the gluten-free flour into the wet mix. Stir until you can't see any dry spots and the batter feels smooth and thick.
03 - Carefully mix in any fun add-ins you’re using, like blueberries or chocolate chips. Do this gently so they don't break up too much.
04 - Warm up a skillet on medium-low and add a bit of butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake, making sure not to overcrowd them. Keep a couple of inches between them.
05 - Let them cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until each one turns a nice golden color and looks done inside.
06 - Take them off the skillet and eat them while they’re still warm! Add some of your favorite toppings or a drizzle of maple syrup.

# Notes:

01 - These easy, gluten-free cottage cheese pancakes are a hit for breakfast and super satisfying.
02 - Leftovers? Keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
