Instructions

In a large bowl or blender, mix together eggs, cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon; mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If desired, gently fold in mix-ins such as chocolate chips or nuts.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat; grease with butter or oil.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them.
Cook until bubbles form on top (about 3-5 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (another 3-5 minutes).
Serve warm with maple syrup and your choice of toppings.
