Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Delicious and lemony pancakes…serve them up with whipped cream and fresh berries for the perfect breakfast!
Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I thought I’d kick off this week with a fresh lemony recipe…nothing like a little bit of yellow sunshine to get things started off right.
In case you haven’t noticed over the years, but we’re big breakfast people…we especially love pancakes. So because we eat them a lot we are always looking for new recipes. And this time of year, in the middle of winter, I crave lemons…so putting the two together just kind of makes sense doesn’t it? 😉
This recipe is a fresh twist on an old favourite…basically just adding lemon zest and juice for a delicious lemony flavour.
Serve these pancakes up with whipped cream and fresh berries…SO gosh darn good.

These are on the menu this upcoming weekend…yep, I’m dreaming of the weekend already and it’s only Monday. Must be the weather…we’re stuck in a deep freeze over here, at -20 degrees C. Ahhh, only a few more months until summer… Anyway, I hope you try this recipe and love it! Lemon is the best, isn’t it?!

February 10, 2014 at 9:46 AMThis is a ridiculous cold right now! Brrr! Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I love all kinds of pancakes too because they are so easy to make. Adding lemon makes a very interesting flavour burst I never thought of before in a pancake. The lemons are fabulous in the stores right now too! Have a great day! ~Thea

February 10, 2014 at 10:33 AMOh wow, these look so yummy. We used to eat pancakes a lot on Sunday mornings, but it seems like we stick with our smoothies. Perhaps we’ll try switching it up this weekend 🙂
