In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Pour the blended ingredients into the dry ingredients along with the melted butter. Gently fold until just combined. The batter should be thick, but pourable. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time to thin the batter if necessary.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form; flip, and continue cooking 1-2 minutes or until cooked through and evenly browned.
Serve warm topped with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of syrup. Enjoy!
