Preheat griddle to 350°F; spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together orange zest, orange juice, ricotta cheese, and eggs. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking until combined.

Drop batter by the 1/4 cupfuls, at least 3-inches apart, onto preheated griddle. Cook for 3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on surface and edges begin to brown. Flip pancakes, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer.
