Description

Fluffy, protein-packed pancakes made with ricotta cheese and zesty lemon for a bright breakfast treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and honey until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  6. Continue until all batter is used, adjusting heat as needed.
  7. Serve stacked with fresh fruits or syrup.

Notes

Rest the batter for 5-10 minutes for fluffier pancakes. Don’t overmix to keep them tender.
