These pancakes are packed with protein and nutritious oat bran. To top it off, drizzle with sweet raspberry sauce.
  1. Place raspberries in a sieve set over a bowl. Let stand on the counter to thaw a little. Push berries through sieve using the bottom of a ladle. Discard seeds. Stir maple syrup into raspberry purée.
  2. Stir flour with oat bran, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until mixed. Whisk eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk in ricotta, milk, vanilla and 4 tbsp oil. Make a well in flour mixture. Pour in egg mixture and stir just until blended.
  3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Lightly brush with remaining oil as needed. When hot, scoop about 1/4 cup batter into pan. Repeat for each pancake. You should be able to fit 3 or 4 in the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the top, 2 to 3 min. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 2 more min. Reduce heat if pancakes are browning too quickly. Remove to a platter. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with raspberry sauce.

  2. 63g of carb per serving is outrageous! Way too much for one meal!

  3. I modified the recipe, I halved the sugar and added splenda. I left out the salt as there is enough in the cheese, why extra is needed I don't know, I also substituted 3 tbsp of apple sauce for 2 tbsp of oil. Also the portion size is very generous, I am not sure most people could eat that much. It would comfortably make 6 portions which equal per serving: 300 cals 10.49g fat 125.46mg sodium 33.16 g carb 2.5g fibre 12.86g protein 131g choletrol that is including the sauce which is very nice. I haven't tried the orginal recipe but the substitute recipe works very well. Great way to get protein for breakfast.
