Optional: 1/4 cup berries or chocolate chips
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Combine cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, sweetener (if using), and cinnamon (if using) in a blender.

Notes
For meal prep, let pancakes cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
Toppings can include fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Ensure your cottage cheese is well-drained if it is very watery.
