Ricotta pancakes are a fluffy, tender breakfast dish commonly associated with Italian and American cuisine. Made with a combination of ricotta cheese, eggs, flour, sugar, and a touch of baking powder, these pancakes have a delicate texture and creamy richness. The ricotta cheese not only adds a subtle tang but also enhances the protein content, making them more filling than traditional pancakes. However, their nutritional profile depends on preparation; use of whole-milk ricotta and sugar can increase calories and fat. To make them lighter, substituting part-skim ricotta and whole-grain flour is a popular choice. Ricotta pancakes are versatile and can be topped with fresh fruit, honey, or yogurt for added nutrients, or served with syrup for a sweeter treat. While indulgent, moderate portions paired with healthy toppings can fit into a balanced diet.
