    What are the carbs in ricotta?

    Ricotta has one of the highest net carbohydrates in cheese with 4g net carbs in a 100g serving. It's still a low carb ingredient but if you are strictly counting carbs keep the portion of ricotta down to a minimum.

    On the upside, ricotta has one of the highest protein content of cheeses with 11g per 100g serving.

    Pancake Ingredients

    When choosing your ricotta select full fat as it will cook better.

    For the low carb sweetener we used allulose but any other low carb sweetener will work.

    Coconut flour gives the pancakes a firmer texture as ricotta alone would be too flimsy and delicate to flip.

    Almond flour can be used in place of coconut flour but the volume will need to be increased as coconut flour is more absorbent and requires a small amount.

    How to make keto lemon ricotta pancakes

    Pancakes are a quick and easy recipe that make a perfect weekend breakfast. If you want to make a larger batch of pancakes, the recipe card below has a button to increase the quantities required.

    1. Beat the eggs.
    2. Add the ricotta and whisk until smooth.
    3. Add the remaining ingredients.
    4. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.

    What to do with leftovers

    In the rare case that you have any leftover pancakes, they should be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

    Reheat the pancakes in a frying pan for a couple of minutes on a medium heat.

    What to serve with keto lemon ricotta pancakes

    Delicious by themselves, these delicate pancakes can be served with a low carb syrup, blueberries, a sugar-free lemon curd or even a sugar-free chocolate sauce.
