Ingredients

  • 1½ cups190 gAll-purpose flour
  • 2⅛ tsp10 gBaking powder
  • ½ tsp2 gBaking soda
  • ¼ tsp1.5 gSalt
  • 1 tsp2 gGround cardamom
  • ¾ cup200 gPart-skim ricotta
  • 1 cup (240 ml)240 gPlain kefir, low-fat
  • 2 large100 gEggs
  • 1½ tbsp20 gGranulated sugar
  • 1 tsp4 gVanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp28 gUnsalted buttermelted, divided
  • 2 medium236 gBananasliced into thin coins
  • ¼ cup64 gAlmond butter, no salt added
  • 1 tbsp20 gHoney
  • 1½ tbsp20 gWaterwarm
  • ¼ cup chopped28 gWalnutschopped

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Melt the butter and set it aside.
  2. Brush a rimmed half-sheet pan with half of the melted butter, line it with parchment, then brush the parchment with a little of the remaining butter, saving the rest for the batter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cardamom.
  4. In a second bowl, whisk the ricotta, kefir, eggs, sugar, vanilla and the rest of the melted butter until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold gently just until no dry streaks remain; a few lumps keep the pancakes fluffy.
  6. Fold about half of the banana slices into the batter, then spread the batter evenly in the pan and scatter the remaining banana slices over the top.
  7. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until puffed, golden at the edges and a toothpick in the center comes out clean and the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
  8. While it bakes, stir the almond butter, honey and warm water in a small bowl into a smooth, pourable drizzle.
  9. Cool the pancake 5 minutes, cut into 8 squares, and serve 2 per plate with the almond butter drizzle and the walnuts sprinkled on top.
