Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, whey protein powder, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in tough pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking oil spray.
Drop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately another 2 minutes.
Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil spray as needed.
Serve the pancakes hot, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.
