Time 15m

Yield 8 pancakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup ricotta
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon blood orange zest plus 2 tablespoons blood orange juice
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon blood orange zest
Blood orange slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt until combined.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta, almond milk, vanilla, blood orange zest and juice and egg until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine until the ingredients are just moistened (be careful not to overmix).
  • In a large nonstick pan or griddle, heat the butter over medium heat. For each pancake, add 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, spreading the batter out with the back of the measuring cup into a round shape.
  • Cook until the surface of the pancakes starts to bubble, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes over with a spatula and cook until the second side is lightly browned, 3 minutes more. Serve warm with blood orange syrup, if desired.
  • For the blood orange syrup: Stir together the maple syrup and blood orange zest and heat in the microwave until warm, about 15 seconds. Drizzle over the pancakes and serve with additional blood orange slices.

These pancakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with more milk or butter.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less whole wheat flour.

I found the ricotta made the pancakes a bit too greasy. I think I would have preferred them with less ricotta or maybe even none at all.

These pancakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour.

The ricotta in these pancakes made them so moist and tender. They were the perfect combination of light and fluffy, with a slight tang from the blood orange zest.
