Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Grease with avocado oil spray.
- Add pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, almond milk, eggs, and maple syrup to a blender. (Adding the wet ingredients first helps aid in smoother blending.) Next, add the dry ingredients (oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt). Blend until smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup batter to the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until pancakes slightly puff up and bubbles form around the edges. Gently flip, and cook another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the underside.
- Serve warm with toppings of choice.

Dear God,
Thank you for the simple, sweet moments of life - like cozy, weekend mornings together and syrupy smiles around our breakfast table. Help me be present, to cherish these micro-moments, and to notice the joy You weave into ordinary days. Open my eyes to the beauty You place in the little things, and help me to be grateful for each one of them, seeing them as a gift from You. Amen.
