Ingredients 

⅓ cup old-fashioned oatmeal

¼ cup egg whites

¼ cup cottage cheese

2 Tbsp canned pumpkin

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

⅓ cup chopped apples, reserving about 1 Tbsp for topping

Maple syrup and pepitas for topping

How to make it 

Place all ingredients in a deep bowl or cup. Give the ingredients a good stir to combine everything, then blend with an immersion blender (or a food processor) until the batter is well-combined and a smooth, thick consistency.

Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat, and spray with nonstick spray.

Scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time, and pour onto pan. You should be able to make about 4 small pancakes.

Cook until little bubbles form, and the edges of the pancakes are solid enough to put a spatula underneath. Flip the pancakes, and cook for one to two additional minutes.

Place on a plate, sprinkle chopped apple and pepitas over the pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve.
