Ingredients

• 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup Daisy Cottage Cheese
• 3 large large eggs
• 2 Tbsps milk of choice
• 2 Tbsps coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2.5 Tbsps butter
• 0.33 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp butter
• 0.25 cup Daisy Cottage Cheese
• 2 Tbsps maple syrup

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
2. In a blender, combine 1 cup Daisy Cottage Cheese, 3 large eggs, 2 Tbsps milk of choice, 2 Tbsps melted and cooled coconut oil, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix just until well combined.
4. In a small bowl, melt 2 1/2 Tbsps butter, then stir in 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon until well combined to create the cinnamon filling.
5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake into the pan.
6. Cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to help the pancakes rise.
7. Swirl the cinnamon filling on top of each pancake, re-cover the pan, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
8. Remove the lid and carefully flip each pancake. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown.
9. In a blender, combine 1/4 cup Daisy Cottage Cheese and 2 Tbsps maple syrup until smooth to create the icing.
10. Drizzle the icing over the pancakes before serving.
