Light and fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes just in time to make for mom this Mother’s Day!  These pancakes are a bit more sophisticated than just your regular old pancakes, which makes them perfect for a special occasion.

The lemon and ricotta meld together beautifully creating vibrant flavors and the poppy seeds make them a little extra special.  The ricotta adds moisture to the pancakes but don’t worry they aren’t dense and gummy.  And they don’t taste like a lasagna either!

They aren’t any harder to make than regular pancakes, just a few different ingredients is all.  My kids love these (I don’t know a pancake or waffle they wouldn’t eat though).  My husband even enjoys these on occasion and he is not a pancake person at all–strictly eggs, potatoes and sometimes meat in the morning.  EVERY morning—so boring!

I, however, need to change it up a little.

I like eggs and potatoes too but I can’t do it every morning because there are so many good things to eat for breakfast.  In fact, as I may have mentioned before, breakfast is my absolute favorite meal.  I could eat it all day long!

Well, I hope you try these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes out and enjoy them as much as we do!

    • They sure can. Make sure they are completely cooled before freezing. Place a piece of parchment paper in between each pancake and place in a resealable plastic bag. Use within 2 months.
