Imagine a pancake light in texture and full of berries, yet filling enough for the day after leg day. You're imagining these delicious Blackberry Ricotta Protein Pancakes!
I made these with part-skim ricotta, but you can lessen the fat even more by using fat-free ricotta instead.
With these Blackberry Ricotta Protein Pancakes and my Lemon Ricotta Protein Pancakes, it is especially important to spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray. Recipes high in whey can get very sticky!

Notes
A note about substitutions: Because different types of protein powder cook very differently, I would not recommend protein powders other than whey for this recipe. And keep in mind that whey concentrates tend to cook better than whey isolates.
