Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
- Optional: sugar-free syrup or berries for serving
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is smooth. It will be slightly thicker than traditional pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil.
Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or coconut oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or your choice of toppings.
