IMG_1941Happy Sunday everybody! Here’s a bright and refreshing protein pancake recipe, because it’s been too long!  I didn’t really understand the hype about ricotta pancakes but yeah…they’re delish.  Of course, I had to put a protein spin on mine!  If you want to get wild, you could even add some blueberries to the pancake batter.

Unfortunately, I will be spending my Sunday in front of my computer writing papers instead of being outside enjoying the sunshine.  But hey, at least there’s powdered sugar on my pancakes, right?

IMG_1906I should mention that ricotta is awesome in pancakes because it gives them a fluffy, rich texture.  They tend to be thicker pancakes that are very moist in the middle.  Don’t skip on beating the egg white though!  You can even go as far as beating them until they form stiff peaks if you have time…your pancakes will be even lighter and fluffier if you do that.  I only went as far as to make mine really frothy.
