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
- 0 Cooking oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Step 2
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, whey protein powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking oil spray.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately another 2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil spray as needed.
Step 8
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.
