Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes

Happy National Blueberry Pancake Day!! To celebrate, I partnered with Driscoll’s to bring you a really delicious spin on traditional blueberry pancakes: Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes.

Adding ricotta to your pancakes doesn’t make them taste like ricotta (no worries!), but it does make for a super moist, almost pudding-like center that is so decadent and delicious!

If you prefer dairy free pancakes, I have a homemade pancake mix recipe here. Add the blueberries to the batter once it has been added to the pan.

I adapted this recipe from a Bobby Flay recipe on Foodnetwork.com.

Ingredients (makes ~10 pancakes):

Pancakes:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• butter (1-2 tablespoons)
• Driscoll’s blueberries (1 pint should cover you)

Mascarpone Topping:

• 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• the zest of 1 lemon
• the juice of 1/2 lemon
• Driscoll’s blueberries

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan.Add a handful of blueberries to the pancake. When the pancake begins to bubble (2-3 minutes), carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until light golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter and blueberries, adding butter as needed.
To make the mascarpone topping, combine all of the ingredients (except for the blueberries) in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add a dollop to a stack of pancakes and top with blueberries. These pancakes are fantastic!  The texture of the pancakes is so moist, you honestly don’t need syrup!
Blueberries and Lemon are a match made in heaven and these pancakes are no exception. I love the burst of blueberry flavor throughout the pancakes.
