Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, grab your mixing bowl and combine the pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt. I like to use an electric mixer for this step to make the mixture super smooth and creamy, but a whisk will work just fine if you prefer a bit of a workout! Once everything is blended well, add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and all the spices. The aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg swirling through my kitchen is just heavenly!
