Cinnamon Apple Cherry Silver Dollar Pancakes

Directions

1. Spray a large non-stick skillet and heat to medium heat.
2. In a large mixing bowl prepare the pancake mix according to the package directions.
3. To prepared pancake batter, add the apples, cherries, ½ cup cottage cheese, and cinnamon; mix well.

7. Drizzle with maple syrup, if desired. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
