Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/4 cups oat flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp lemon zest

Wet Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup oat milk
• 1/2 cup ricotta
• 1/3 cup greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• Juice from 1 small lemon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg yolk

Meringue:

• 3 egg whites

Toppings:

• Maple syrup
• Fruits of your choice (I used blueberries & blackberries)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add in all the wet ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
2. In another large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand held mixer, until stiff peaks. Add in 1/3 of the meringue to the pancake batter and whisk gently. Add the rest of the meringue 2 separate times, by folding gently for the last 2 times, until everything is well combined. Don’t overmix!
3. Heat up a frying pan over low heat and oil. Use a small piece of paper towel to oil the entire pan evenly.
4. Add in 4 circles of the batter. Then spoon a little water on the sides. Cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes. Uncover, and place one pancake on top of the other (thus, making two pancakes). Add a little water again and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat for the rest of the batter.
5. Plate, add toppings and enjoy!
