I love the irresistible way blueberries pop in my mouth. Warm pancakes fresh from the griddle, with blueberries inside brings the experience to a whole new level. I coat the berries with flour so that they don’t sink to the bottom when they are introduced into the pancake batter. Ricotta cheese adds a little twist to the texture of this pancake and makes them billowy soft. I don’t put any fancy toppings on these pancakes because they are packed with so much flavor. Melted butter, fresh whipped cream, and your favorite syrup will complement these pancakes nicely.
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas
- 9 ounces or 2 cups (See Notes)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½-3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries mixed with 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Psyllium Husks
- 1 Tablespoon Hemp Seeds
- Combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, ground flax seeds, psyllium husks, and hemp seeds. Set aside.
- Mash bananas with a fork or use a stick blender to blend all wet ingredients: eggs, yogurt, ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, and bananas.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry. Gently fold in the berries.
- Use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon to drop the batter onto the hot skillet. Cover with a lid. Fry about 1-2 minutes, then flip the pancakes over and fry an additional minute. After each panful of pancakes add more oil as needed.
- Serve warm with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and your favorite syrup.
