Ricotta & basil pancakes
These light and fluffy ricotta pancakes will melt in your mouth. Adding lemon rind and basil to the batter gives them a zesty freshness.
Pancakes with peanut Bar-One sauce
These banana pancakes smothered in glossy Bar-One sauce will give you the best of both worlds. We added peanuts to the sauce for extra crunch, but feel free to leave them out if preferred. This Bar-One sauce is so good that we’d recommend keeping a jar of it in your fridge so you always have on hand. Enjoy it spooned over ice cream, glazed on cakes or swirled into milkshakes.
