• 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

• 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree

Instructions:

Prepare the Blending Base:

• In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and water.

Add Dry Ingredients:

• Add the vanilla protein powder, Kodiak Cakes pancake mix, and pumpkin pie spice to the blender with the wet ingredients.

• Blend again on low speed until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

• If it seems too thick, add a little more water (1 tablespoon at a time) to adjust the consistency.
  

Cook the Pancakes:

• Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

• Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter if needed.

• Pour the batter onto the skillet (about 1/4 cup per pancake).

• Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
