Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated stevia or your preferred sweetener
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, low-fat ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and granulated stevia. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread and shape the batter into a circle, as the mixture may be slightly thick.
Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Using a spatula, carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet with cooking spray as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
