Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole fat ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup liquid Vanilla protein shake (May use whole milk) i.e. Premier Protein
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sweetener i.e. Swerve or similar Adjust amount to taste
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp butter for frying may use coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a stand blender, combine ricotta, vanilla protein shake or milk, eggs, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder and vanilla. Process until fully combined and slightly thickened.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp butter over medium in a large skillet or a griddle. Use a 2 ounce ice cream scoop to divide the batter. Use the back of the scoop to spread batter into roughly a 4 inch circle.
  • Cook in batches for 3-4 minutes per side. Watch for bubbles in the batter carefully turning with a spatula. Remove to a platter and keep warm. Additional butter may be needed between batches.
  • Serve with sugar free syrup, butter or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Please note:
  • The nutrition values should be used as a guideline as there are many variables when ingredients are substituted and the final amount of butter used for frying. 
  • I used Vanilla Premier protein shake for the liquid in this recipe. Whole milk may be used instead.
