Heat a large skillet over low to medium heat with a bit of butter.
Blend 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 5 eggs, and 2 tbsp maple syrup in a blender for 30 seconds.
In a large bowl, mix the 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 pinch salt, and blended cottage cheese mixture until combined.
In a separate bowl, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing 1/4 cup white sugar with 1 tbsp cinnamon.
Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar on top of the batter. Cook for roughly 2 minutes on each side. You'll know it's time to flip when a handful of bubbles start to appear in the batter.
Repeat with all the batter. You should make about 8 pancakes that are 5" diameter. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
