Notes

Depending on the brand you purchase, canned pumpkin puree will vary in water content. Some brands have higher water content than others. This water content will effect the consistency of your batter. If the brand you use is drier, you will need to add more milk than if it has a higher water content.
Feel free to sub out the Greek yogurt for cottage cheese, although I do recommend blending the cottage cheese first
