Ricotta-Banana Pancakes

Breakfast for dessert — why not?! Whenever you decide to serve pancakes with ricotta and banana, you can make these delicious pancakes even more delicious by adding a little cinnamon or nutmeg, or a handful of chopped nuts.
Preheat the oven to 200ºF. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, egg, milk, butter, vanilla and banana. Carefully mix the flour mixture with the ricotta until smooth.Brush a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with cooking spray or melted butter. Spoon the batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes in total. Leave the pancakes warm on a plate in the oven while the remaining pancakes are cooked.Place the pancakes on dessert plates, sprinkle with caramel and sliced bananas if desired, and serve.
