Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter or oil for cooking (about 1-2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, and eggs. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the cottage cheese is evenly distributed for a creamy texture.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  3. Preheat and Grease Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and help the pancakes brown nicely.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately another 2 minutes.
  5. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and whipped cream if desired, enhancing their sweet and spiced flavors perfectly.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker pancake, reduce the pumpkin puree slightly.
  • These pancakes can be made ahead and reheated in the toaster or oven.
  • To keep pancakes warm while cooking batches, place them on a baking sheet in an oven set to 200°F (93°C).
