Start by adding 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese to your blender. Blend on medium speed for about 20 seconds until it begins to smooth out.

Next, add 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin puree to the blender and blend for an additional 15-20 seconds until well combined.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, followed by 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything for about 30 seconds.

Check the consistency of the mixture. If not smooth enough, blend again for another 10-15 seconds.

Spoon the mixture into a bowl. You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it. Customize with toppings like granola or pumpkin seeds.
