Scale
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (Can substitute with ricotta)
  • 2 large Eggs (Can substitute with flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional; can substitute with almond extract)
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar (Can use coconut sugar or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (Ensure freshness for fluffiness)

  • To taste Maple Syrup (Classic topping)
  • To taste Fresh Fruits (Berries or banana slices recommended)

  6. Repeat until all batter is used, adjusting heat as necessary.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, and yogurt.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
