These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are tender, moist, and bursting with fresh citrus and juicy blueberries, making them a perfect easy homemade breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred)
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (from about one lemon)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • Butter or oil for cooking (unsalted butter preferred)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently whisk ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, trying not to break them up.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt about 1 teaspoon of butter.
  6. Spoon about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder and hydrate flour for fluffier pancakes. Use room temperature eggs and milk. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough pancakes. Adjust batter thickness with milk or flour as needed. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven. Use fresh blueberries for best texture; frozen can be used but fold gently.
