Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, I like to combine the cottage cheese and pumpkin puree in a blender for a smooth texture. This is key because you want that creamy consistency that melds beautifully with the oats. Once blended, I add the eggs and mix until everything is well combined. If you like a touch of sweetness, this is when I toss in the maple syrup, though you can totally skip it if you prefer less sugar. The smell at this stage is divine!
