Ingredients

  • 1 egg-separated
  • 1/4 cup and 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1.5 teaspoons ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 1 banana-cut into small rounds
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate-in small pieces
  • butter for cooking (or cooking spray)

Method

  • In a bowl, mix the egg yolk with the milk and ricotta cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and mix well (there should be no clumps); add banana and chocolate pieces.
  • Whip the egg whites just until they begin to form soft peaks.
  • With a spatula, gently, fold in 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the mixture-do not over mix! Once incorporated, fold in the rest of the egg whites.
  • Butter (or spray) a pan and cook pancakes until nicely brown on each side (less than a minute per side). YUM!
