Pumpkin Pancakes

Craig absolutely loved these and he isn't one for pancakes. They are a thinner pancake, but the flavor is outstanding.


1/4 cup cottage or ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup pumpkin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/4 cup vanilla whey protein OR 2 TBS coconut flour

Preheat skillet. Beat eggs with electric mixer on high for 1 minute to make them light and fluffy. In a food processor, blend the cottage cheese until very smooth, then add to the eggs. Add all the other ingredients. Pour batter onto skillet, fry until golden brown. Serve with Nature's Hollow syrup. Makes 4 servings. Whole Recipe = 321 calories, 11.9 carbs, 6.6 fiber
