These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes offer a bright, fresh twist on classic pancakes with a creamy texture and a subtle citrus zing. Perfect for a quick, easy, and indulgent breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250 g) ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries (or frozen, do not thaw)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add ricotta cheese, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. The batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid bursting.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil. Wait until the butter foams and begins to brown slightly.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Serve warm with toppings like extra blueberries, lemon squeeze, honey, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Let eggs and milk come to room temperature for fluffier pancakes. Do not overmix batter; lumps are okay. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Fold blueberries gently to prevent color bleeding. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making a batch.
