Steps
Add the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined to create the swirl mixture.
Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
Before flipping, drizzle a small amount of the cinnamon butter mixture over each pancake in a swirl pattern.
Once bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the pancakes.
Continue cooking until the pancakes are cooked through and the cinnamon swirl has caramelized against the pan.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
The cottage cheese should be blended until completely smooth to ensure a light, fluffy texture without lumps. For a 'cheesecake-inspired' finish mentioned by the author, you can create a simple cream cheese glaze to drizzle on top.
