How to make baked pancakes with extra protein

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C)
2. Prepare the Pan**: Line a half-sized baking sheet (about 9×13 inches) with parchment paper to prevent sticking. **If you are using a regular-sized baking sheet, then double this recipe
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the eggs, ricotta cheese, oat milk, maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix
6. Pour into the Pan: Pour the pancake batter into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with blueberries and gently push them down into the batter
7. Bake: Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on what size of baking sheet you are using and how thick the batter is. A half baking sheet using this same recipe measurements bakes for 20 minutes
8. Cool and Slice: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Use a knife to slice the pancakes into 10 slices
9. Serve: Enjoy warm, topped with additional blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt if desired!
