Instructions

In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk. Blend until smooth.

In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and poppy seeds). To the dry ingredients, add the blended wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat, grease or spray if needed. Drop batter by about 1/4 cup onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side (will depend on the heat of your skillet) or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.
