In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a separate bowl, combine milk, banana, ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla and blend with an immersion blender.

Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix to form a batter. It may be lumpy, but that’s ok.

Grease and heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add pancakes and cook, about one minute per side; flip when edges are golden. Serve with maple syrup.
