What to Do

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, and the vanilla creamer; mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, granulated sugar, almond milk, and eggs; mix with a wooden spoon until batter is smooth.
In a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Pour about 1/3 cup batter onto skillet. When bubbles form on top, flip pancakes and cook 1 minute, or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, melting remaining butter, as needed.
Serve topped with ricotta cheese mixture. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and almonds, if desired.
