Light, fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes bursting with fresh lemon zest and juicy blueberries, perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (110g) fresh blueberries (washed and patted dry)
  • Butter or oil for cooking (unsalted butter preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: bring ricotta and eggs to room temperature, wash and dry blueberries, zest and juice the lemon separately.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs gently, then add ricotta, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth but do not overmix.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined; lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully fold in blueberries to avoid breaking them.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with butter or oil.
  7. Pour ¼ cup batter onto skillet for each pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve warm with maple syrup, extra blueberries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use room temperature ingredients for fluffier pancakes. Fold blueberries gently to avoid bursting. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. Keep skillet clean and lightly greased between batches for even cooking.
