Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
For each pancake, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form and edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!

Notes

These pancakes freeze well; store them in an airtight container for up to a month.
For extra fluffiness, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking.
Experiment with different toppings, such as nuts or yogurt, for added flavor.
