In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Combine the ricotta cheese with the egg mixture and whisk well.
Mix the eggs, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana-ricotta mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Make sure you don’t overmix. Stir until just combined. A thick and lumpy batter is ideal.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet, spreading it slightly with the back of the cup to form a round shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed.
Serve the Banana Ricotta Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Some delicious options include sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
