In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of flour. Mix until well combined, ensuring a slightly lumpy texture.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to coat the bottom.

Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.

Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while repeating the process. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or honey.
