Notes
A triple batch of these pancakes (about 18-20 pancakes total) can be made with a 24-ounce container of cottage cheese.If you find that you aren't a fan of seeing the little bits of cottage cheese melting in the pancakes, you can combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and maple syrup in the blender and puree until smooth before continuing with the recipe.Gently stir together the dry ingredients with the liquids in a mixing bowl, just until combined. (Do not combine them in the blender.)All of that said, I promise that you will not taste the bits of cottage cheese in the pancakes. We make and enjoy the pancake recipe as written above.
