Mixing the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, protein powder, water, eggs, and vanilla until just combined. Gently fold in the ricotta and blueberries, being careful not to over-mix to keep the pancakes tender. - Cooking the Pancakes:
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Using a medium scoop (about 1/2 cup), pour the batter into the hot skillet. Cook each pancake for about 1 minute per side or until light golden brown. Look for bubbles rising evenly to the surface as a sign to flip. Reapply cooking spray between batches as needed.
- Serving:
Serve each person 2 pancakes, topped with 1/4 cup of sugar-free maple syrup and 1/4 cup of sliced fresh strawberries.
