These Buckwheat Blueberry and Ricotta Hotcakes are a tasty and healthy way to start the day. When you mix buckwheat and ricotta cheese together, they get fluffy and rich. Fresh blueberries give them a fruity burst. To make it even better, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with seeds.
Ingredients: 1 cup buckwheat flour. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 tsp salt. 2 large eggs. 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese. 1 cup milk. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 cup fresh blueberries. Butter or oil for cooking. Pure maple syrup for serving. Assorted seeds e.g., chia, flax, sunflower for garnish.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little butter or oil to grease the surface. Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the hot griddle, spreading it slightly to form pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the griddle as needed. Serve the hotcakes drizzled with pure maple syrup and sprinkle with assorted seeds for added texture and nutrition. Enjoy your delicious Buckwheat Blueberry and Ricotta Hotcakes!
