Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons orange zest
– 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking
– Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then stir in the ricotta, milk, and orange zest until well combined.
3. Pour the ricotta mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the pan.
5. Scoop the batter onto the hot surface, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
7. Serve the orange ricotta chocolate chip pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
Notes
– For a thicker batter, reduce the milk to 3/4 cup.
– Substitute dark chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips if desired.
– Top with fresh orange segments, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
