Print Recipe

These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are tender, moist, and bursting with fresh blueberries and bright lemon zest, perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional, for serving)
  • Extra lemon zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat ricotta cheese with eggs and whole milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate quickly, it’s ready.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or low oven (about 200°F / 95°C) to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  8. Serve warm with maple syrup or honey and extra lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for better blending and rise. Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning outside while undercooking inside. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing cooking the batch.
