It’s officially spring and I can now wander around outside without a jacket! …Who am I kidding, I live in SF, I wander around in Uggz, leggings, a sweatshirt and a jacket half the time. The weather is ridiculous here. But that doesn’t stop me from pretending that there are seasons in SF.
These citrus ricotta pancakes are sugar-free and in my world that means they’re healthy and I can have as many as I want. They taste like Froot Loops and need a nice drizzle of maple syrup to satisfy your sweet tooth. It’s a refreshing breakfast or brinner (don’t act like you don’t know what brinner is 
) idea. I might have to say these are the best pancakes I’ve ever made! The pancakes turned out so fluffy and pillow-y! The texture and flavor are so perfect for this spring! Seriously give them a shot 
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbs honey
- 1/4 cup milk
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- juice from 1/2 orange
- 1/2 tbsp orange zest
- 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Crack egg into a medium sized bowl and beat. Stir in ricotta, sour cream, honey, milk, juice and zest.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix enough to moisten the flour. Lumps are ok!
- Heat skillet on medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter. When butter foam subsides add 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Spread the batter if necessary into whatever sized pancake you want. Cook until bottom is brown and bubbles appear on top on the pancake, about 2 minutes. Flip pancake, turn heat down to low, and cook until bottom is golden brown. Cook rest of pancakes on low heat.
- Sprinkle with additional citrus zest. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and serve while warm.
