INGREDIENTS

• 170g Nodo Better Batter
• 1/2 cup (150g) smooth ricotta
• 1/4 cup (60mL) olive oil or neutral oil
• 1 cup (250mL) milk
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 1 punnet blueberries
• Coconut oil or butter, for cooking
• Maple syrup, to serve

METHOD

1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Add the egg yolks, ricotta, oil and milk to a bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Add the Better Batter and cinnamon, stirring to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Gently fold the whisked egg whites through the pancake batter until just combined.
4. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
5. To cook, place a small pan with tall sides on a medium to high heat. Add a heaped teaspoon of coconut oil or butter and allow to melt.
6. Pour half a cup of batter into a pan. When bubbles start to appear around the edge, place 5-6 blueberries onto the pancake. Cover the blueberries with a little pancake batter. 
7. Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles appear in the centre of the pancake, 2 minutes. Flip the pancake, then continue until the pancake is cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
9. Serve with fresh blueberries and maple syrup.
