Oatmeal Ricotta Pancakes with Fresh Cherry Topping

July 29, 2009 by Faith 21 Comments

I love breakfast meals.  They’re filling, nutritious, relatively fast to make, and usually cheaper than other meals.  Why not eat the most important meal of the day (breakfast!) for any meal?

 

The recipe below is for one serving, because I’m sad to say my husband doesn’t like breakfast foods (aside from eggs, sunny-side up or scrambled), but also because this makes it easy to adjust for any number of people.

Oatmeal Ricotta Pancakes with Cherry Topping

 

(Yield:  1 serving)

 

2/3 c rolled oats (I used Quaker Old-Fashioned)

¼ c plus 1 TB ricotta cheese, divided

1 egg

½ small banana, mashed

1 tsp vanilla

Dash salt

1 c fresh cherries, pitted and halved

Cooking spray

 

In the blender, pulse the oats until powdered, and transfer them to a separate bowl.  In the blender, purée the cheese, egg, banana, vanilla, and salt, then add the oat powder and blend until just mixed.  Heat a small 6” pan over medium heat, lightly spray it with cooking spray, then add half the batter.  Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the pancake is golden on the bottom; flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes or until the pancake is golden on the second side.  Repeat with the remaining batter (you will end up with 2 pancakes, each 4-5” in diameter).  For the cherries, lightly spray a separate pan with cooking spray and cook the cherries on medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until they start to soften.  Top the pancakes with the cherries and 1 TB of ricotta cheese.

    I haven’t had these pancakes in forever! I had a craving for them and so decided to look up the recipe and found yours. I never added the half a banana before, I used to use applesauce. I tried it with the banana, and I really like the combination. Thanks for the twist. the only other thing I added was one packet of sweetner, I didn’t add the cherries or extra ricotta on top. Fabulous!

    Found this recipe last night and noticed that it didn’t have a leavening agent. I decided to make these this morning. The only tweak I did to this recipe was add 1 tsp. of baking powder with the oats(only because i really like fluffy pancakes) and it was fantastic! This is a new favorite recipe for pancakes.

    This is amazingly healthy! I’ll bet it has a nice chewy factor from the oats, but still light and fluffy from the ricotta cheese! Can I sub cottage cheese do you think?

      Sophia, I think cottage cheese would work well as a substitute for the ricotta, especially since everything is pureed together. If you make it, let me know how it turns out with the cottage cheese! :)
