.5 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp Xanthan gum

How-to

Measure out dry ingredients and mix in a bowl.
Next, measure out egg whites in a separate bowl, and whisk slightly so they are a bit fluffy.
Measure out cottage cheese in a separate bowl.
Heat a pan to medium-high heat, spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix in a blender – this will help the cottage cheese blend with the other ingredients easier.
If the mixture is too thick, add water (or other liquid of choice) in 1/2 tbsp increments until you get a pancake batter consistency.
Reduce pan heat to medium heat.
Using a 1/4 cup scoop, scoop the batter into the pan. This mixture may take longer to cook.
After the edges are firm, flip the pancake.
