- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 1/4 cup flour of choice
- 1 scoop SSH vanilla protein powder optional
- 2 tsp baking powder

- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the blended ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently.

- Heat a pan over medium heat, add 1/2 butter and once melted, add a scoop of the batter into the pan and cook until the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form on the pancake.
- Flip the pancake and cook until the top is softened and the pancake is cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Continue until all of the batter has been cooked.

Notes
This recipe makes about 12 pancakes total.
STORAGE
Allow them to cool completely, place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
When adding the wet ingredients to the dry, stir gently to combine them. Overmixed pancake batter can lead to tough, flat pancakes.
After you flip the pancakes, you’ll know when they’re cooked through when the tops begin to soften. This means the batter is cooked and steam is starting to release from the top!
