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.
