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

Instructions
 

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