Description
Delightful pancakes with a zesty lemon flavor and a protein punch, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. A few lumps are okay!
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (another 2-3 minutes).
- Serve warm with syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Don’t over-mix the batter; a few lumps keep the pancakes fluffy.
