Banana Ricotta Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks, ricotta cheese, milk and lemon zest in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in flour, baking powder and sugar.
• Beat egg whites in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently stir into ricotta mixture.
• Heat griddle; brush lightly with butter. Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Top each pancake with 6 banana slices; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. of the granola. Cook 3 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining batter. Stack pancakes on serving plates. Top evenly with any remaining banana slices and granola. Drizzle with syrup.

Steps:

• 1. Using one large bowl for the "dry" combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• 2. Using a med bowl for the "wet" combine ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, vanila extract, and lemon juice. Mix well.
• 3. Toss contents in the "wet" bowl into the "dry" bowl and stir to blend well.
• 4. Dice up bananas.
• 5. Melt butter in a hot skillet or a hot griddle and smother it all over.
• 6. Drop 1/4 cupfuls onto the hot skillet/griddle. (note, i used an ice cream scooper, it worked great.).
• 7. Using your fingers drop about 5-7 pieces of diced bananas onto each batter round, making sure it gets distrubted all over the batter, not just one clump in the middle.
• 8. Wait a couple minutes and then flip and press down with the back of your spatula to flatten it, not too hard though just a little pressure will do.
• 9. Cook for a couple to a few minutes for that side. As soon as it's done, transfer to a warm plate and cover with a towel until you are done with all of your batter and ready to serve!
• Note. because the sugar from the banana carmelizes, you will need to wipe down the skillet/griddle with a paper towel and add more butter after each batch.

Steps:

• For the Banana-Pecan Syrup:
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the nuts and saute for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the bananas and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the syrup and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the syrup is hot and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside in a warm place.
• For the Ricotta Pancakes:
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together onto waxed paper or a plate. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff but not dry. Beat the egg yolks, milk, and ricotta together in a large bowl until well blended and smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix gently with a large spoon. Stir a spoonful of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites with a rubber spatula.
• Warm a serving platter in a 200 degree F oven.
• Heat a nonstick flat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Grease with butter or vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes over using a large wide spatula. Cook on the other side for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the pancakes to the warm platter.
• Serve immediately or hold in the oven while you cook the rest of the pancakes. Serve the pancakes on heated plates topped with the syrup.

Steps:

• Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
• Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.
