Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

I have been holding on to several recipes for ricotta pancakes and I decided Spring would be the perfect time to give this lemon version a try.  I love the addition of the lemon! It gives a fresh flavor to the pancakes.  I decided to pair these lemon ricotta pancakes with an easy blackberry sauce. This is also well complemented by the lemon.  You could also change out the blackberries for raspberries and it would also be delicious.

The addition of the ricotta makes a very thick batter.  However, the pancakes have terrific tenderness to them.  Be sure to be careful when making these that you do not over mix the batter.  Enjoy Spring or Easter breakfast with the refreshing flavor of these lemon ricotta pancakes with blackberry sauce.

Also for those of you who aren’t local, I had a tv appearance yesterday on a local show on channel 2. I demonstrated my recent post for oven baked teriyaki chicken thighs.

  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

  • In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, egg whites, lemon juice, lemon zest, and canola oil.
  • Gently fold the ricotta mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not over mix. This batter will be thick.
  • Heat a griddle or a nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with canola oil.  Drop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook the pancakes until browned on the underside and beginning to set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the pancakes on the other side, about two minutes longer. Continue making pancakes until batter is gone. Serve warm with blackberry sauce.  Makes about 10 pancakes.

  1. I just made something similar to these Sunday for dinner. I used cottaage cheese instead of the ricotta. They were really good. I love the lemon flavor. They were a perfect Spring meal.
