Ricotta Pancakes are a fluffy and indulgent breakfast dish originating from Italian cuisine, where ricotta cheese is a staple ingredient. These pancakes are made by blending ricotta cheese into a traditional pancake batter, which often includes flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and a touch of vanilla or lemon zest for added flavor. Ricotta lends the pancakes a creamy texture and boosts their protein content, making them more filling than regular pancakes. While they are a satisfying treat, Ricotta Pancakes can be calorie-dense due to added sugar and the use of full-fat ricotta cheese. To make them healthier, some recipes swap out refined flour for whole-grain alternatives or decrease the sugar. Topped with fruits, nuts, or honey, these pancakes offer a balance of indulgence and nutrition, making them a versatile option for breakfast or brunch.
