In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese and crack in the eggs one by one, stirring gently after each to combine.

Add in the pure vanilla extract and sprinkle the granulated sugar over the mixture, then stir until well blended.

Sift the baking powder and flour into the bowl, then fold them in carefully until a thick batter forms, being cautious not to overmix.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil, allowing it to become hot.

Spoon the batter into the skillet to form pancakes, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Once cooked, serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup or topped with jam for a delightful breakfast experience.
