These fluffy blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes combine creamy ricotta, fresh blueberries, and bright lemon zest for a moist and flavorful breakfast treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • About 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients and bring eggs and ricotta to room temperature for better mixing. Zest the lemon and set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. (2 minutes)
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk ricotta, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth. (3 minutes)
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix. (2 minutes)
  5. Gently fold in fresh blueberries. Be careful not to break them up too much. (1 minute)
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about a teaspoon of butter and let it melt and foam. (3-4 minutes)
  7. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through. (Approx. 5 minutes per batch)
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set to low heat (about 200°F / 95°C) as you finish the batch to keep warm. (Ongoing)
  9. Stack pancakes, add a pat of butter or drizzle with maple syrup, and serve immediately. (1 minute)

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender. Use room temperature eggs and ricotta for better mixing and rise. Preheat pan properly to avoid burning. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too runny, add a sprinkle of flour. Cook batter within 10 minutes of mixing for best fluffiness.
