Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are an all time favorite we have adapted to make a little healthier! Serve with a simple berry sauce that can be created with fresh or frozen berries or a berry jam! We added a few of our favorite Perfect Puree items to jazz up the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Perfect Puree Meyer Lemon Concentrate, or or fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Perfect Puree Lemon Zest
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, blackberries, or black currents, (can substitute jam)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar, or maple syrup (if using jam omit the sugar)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, (can be gluten free all-purpose)
