Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder (optional), and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well-combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy due to the cottage cheese, which is perfectly fine!
Heat the Pan: Spray a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray, or use a small amount of oil, and heat it over medium-low to medium heat.
Cook the Pancakes: Pour small dollops of the batter onto the heated skillet, forming pancakes about 3 inches in diameter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles begin to form and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite low-point toppings, such as fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
