These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes combine creamy ricotta with zesty lemon and juicy blueberries for a bright, satisfying breakfast that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Butter or neutral oil (canola) for cooking
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup or honey, extra lemon zest, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat eggs with ricotta cheese and milk until smooth. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Add a tablespoon of milk if batter is too thick.
  4. Fold in blueberries carefully to avoid crushing.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Keep cooked pancakes warm covered loosely with foil while finishing the batch.
  8. Serve immediately with optional toppings like maple syrup, extra lemon zest, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better rise. Preheat pan properly to medium heat. Fold blueberries in gently to avoid crushing. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/90°C) if making a large batch. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. For vegan, use plant-based ricotta, flax eggs, and dairy-free milk.
