Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, and 2 eggs. Mix well until combined.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Add 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  3. Heat skillet: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2 minutes.
  5. Serve warm: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup and whipped cream if desired, for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned 100% pumpkin for best flavor.
  • Ensure the skillet is heated properly before cooking to achieve the perfect golden crust.
  • These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
