These Lemon Ricotta Protein Pancakes are flavorful, hearty, and just like the lemon ricotta pancakes you'd find at a cute little downtown café.
It's a simple recipe, and it has no grains or added carb source!
The ricotta and whey make these Lemon Ricotta Protein Pancakes quite filling, as well.
The next time you wake up hungry, give these pancakes a try!
Servings: 3 pancakes
Calories: 263kcal
Ingredients
- 1 whole egg
- ¼ cup part-skim ricotta 63g
- ¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder 23g
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour 2.3g
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle over a low flame.
- Beat the egg, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Wait until the griddle is hot enough (when drops of water sizzle up).
- Pour some batter on on the griddle (smaller pancakes flip more easily), and flip when you see lots of bubbles rising to the top of the pancake.
- Cook for about one more minute on the other side.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you've finished your batter.
- Stack, and enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe.

Hi, love the recipe. I made it as pancakes first. Then I tried making it in a mug. I poured all the batter in a mug coated with Pam and microwaved it for 2 minutes and voila a perfect little muffin cake and less clean up!!!

Hi Michele,
Good question! Looking at the recipe, I don't think it should make more than 3 pancakes. But I show 6 in the picture… I suppose I made a double batch? I really don't remember! But I can see how that is confusing, and I appreciate you pointing it out! I will make them again soon and then edit the post. Apologies for the confusion! And thanks for writing in!

I love these pancakes! But everytime i make them, i can only make 2.5 hand size pancakes, is this suppose to make more?

Hi Elisabeth,
Cooking spray should have been enough. What kind of pan did you use? Was the flame too high? And what kind of protein powder did you use? I'm surprised to hear you needed to add water. I didn't have those issues at all!

How do I keep these from sticking to the pan! I made the recipe twice and after 2 attempts I was done! I used cooking spray but still couldn't flip them. I also had to add water because the batter was too thick to pour after I added the protein powder.
