Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

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.
