The Fluffiest Ricotta Low Carb Pancakes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs separate egg yolks from egg whites
- 4 TBS Ricotta cheese can sub for low fat Ricotta cheese
- 2 TBS Almond flour can substitute for regular or Gluten free flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Sweetner I use Golden Monkfruit.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg yolks, almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the ricotta mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this could deflate the airy texture of the soufflé pancakes. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray, butter, or Extra virgin olive oil.
- Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. These pancakes cook up beautifully with a light and fluffy texture thanks to the whipped egg whites. Serve your Ricotta Soufflé Low-Carb Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. I love serving them with fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
You can customize these Ricotta Soufflé Low Carb Pancakes by adding in different mix-ins such as cinnamon, vanilla extract, or grated lemon zest for added flavor.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings. I use sliced almonds, chia seeds, or sugar-free chocolate chips for extra crunch and sweetness. The possibilities are endless when it comes to making these pancakes your own!
For a make-ahead option, store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Simply reheat them in the air fryer or microwave before serving. You can also freeze any extra pancakes individually wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Instead of plastic wrap, you can use a small piece of parchment paper, lined in between of each pancake. So they don't stick together in the freezer.
