These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes offer a bright, fresh twist on traditional pancakes with creamy ricotta and zesty lemon, perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk (substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free option)
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • Unsalted butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly blended.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add ricotta cheese and milk, stirring gently to combine.
  3. Fold in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  6. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small pat of unsalted butter.
  7. Scoop about ¼ cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the pan, spacing them out.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and tent loosely with foil while finishing the rest.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing; cook on medium heat to avoid burning; gently fold in blueberries to prevent crushing; if using frozen blueberries, toss in flour before adding to batter.
