Apple Ricotta Pancakes

Categories : Breakfast & Brunch

These healthful apple pancakes puff to perfection thanks to the proper combination of substances, along with a combination of double-acting baking powder and baking soda (the use of each guarantees the batter will spread out frivolously and upward thrust properly). Ricotta cheese makes pancakes moister than the usage of milk by myself, and it packs nearly 4 instances extra protein than complete milk. Walnut oil is complete of healthy fat and has a rich, nutty taste, and white whole-wheat flour packs in greater fiber than all-motive flour. A piece of buttermilk adds a pleasant tang to those flapjacks. All in all, it adds as much as a wholesome breakfast it’s certain to electrify.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sugar plus 1 teaspoon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium sweet, crisp apple (including Honeycrisp)
  • 4 teaspoons butter
  • 4 teaspoons walnut oil

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, baking powder, half teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk egg, buttermilk, ricotta, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl.
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just mixed. Let stand until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl.
  5. Core apple and slice into eight ⅛-inch-thick rings (reserve the rest of the apple for another use).
  6. Heat 1 teaspoon each butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add 2 apple rings and cook until beginning to soften, about 1 minute.
  8. Turn them over and spread ¼ cup of the batter on each.
  9. Cook until bubbles form, 2 to 4 minutes.
  10. Turn the pancakes, sprinkle with some of the cinnamon-sugar, and cook until golden on the bottom and cooked through, about 2 minutes more.
  11. Repeat with the remaining ingredients in 3 more batches, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
