Ricotta Pancakes with Nutella

My son’s favorite breakfast is pancakes or waffles, so I try to make them for him as often as I can because I love them too. I usually make them during the week because my husband prefers some type of egg dish on the weekend. There’s nothing like a warm pancake first thing in the morning to get your day started off right.

For these pancakes I wanted to use ricotta. I’ve seen so many highly rated pancake recipes that have ricotta in them, so I couldn’t wait to try it. I started off with just using pancake mix and then adding ricotta, milk and eggs. The results were amazing. These were the fluffiest most wonderful pancakes I’ve ever had. They were super light and full of air, to dense or doughy at all.

I topped them with a dollop of Nutella and lots of fresh berries. These made the perfect summer breakfast for my son and I.

Nutella® hazelnut spread is a happy start to every day! It’s so versatile and can be enjoyed on so many things like whole-wheat toast, waffles, pancakes, croissants, bagels, English Muffins, graham crackers, crepes, fruits and more. You’re only limited by your imagination!   On the Nutella® Tumblr page, you can share pictures of you enjoy Nutella, get recipes and participate in spreading the happy!

There’s nothing quite like Nutella®. Its uniquely delicious taste comes from roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and cocoa. And did you know that Nutella is gluten free and has no artificial colors or preservatives? And have you heard of Nutella&Go!? It’s one of my favorite snacks! It’s a single-serve convenient snack pack with Nutella and breadsticks for dipping anytime, anywhere! Nutella can be found grocery stores, warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, and is generally found near the peanut butter and sweet spreads section. Nutella&Go can usually be found at the front of the store- end caps or at register.

Nutella® hazelnut spread is a happy start to every day! Pick up a jar of Nutella in the spreads aisle and enjoy it with whole wheat toast, waffles, pancakes, strawberries, bananas and many other foods. Nutella. Spread the Happy™.
