Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp organic sugar
  • 1 cup plant-based milk almond or oat recommended
  • 1/2 cup vegan ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries—go wild
  • Maple syrup for serving or pour it like it’s a love language

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Pretend you’re on the Food Network while doing it.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix plant milk, vegan ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—lumps are fine, perfection is not required.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush with oil because pancakes love a little spa treatment too.
  5. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet per pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear.
  6. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes. If you mess up the flip, call it “rustic”—nobody will question you.
  7. Serve hot with fresh berries and maple syrup. Instagram it before eating because obviously, brunch is content now.

💡 Additional Notes & Tips

  • Want extra protein? Use almond flour or add a vegan protein scoop (you overachiever).
  • Don’t overmix the batter—this isn’t therapy, it’s pancakes.
  • If you love drama, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • These freeze well, but honestly, they won’t make it to the freezer.
  • Pair with coffee, brunch gossip, and at least one person to say, “Omg, you made these?”
