My friend Chellie over at Art From My Table created these 21 Day Fix lemon ricotta pancakes, and you guys? YUM. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also fix-approved and good for you. You’ll love them, your kids will love them, your whole family will love them. 

Also? They’re freezer-friendly (yay, pancakes!) which means that you can make a bunch and save them for later (learn how to freeze pancakes here). 

Instead of using traditional flour, these use ground oats. They’re also packed with protein, thanks to the Greek yogurt and ricotta (ricotta, yum). And the lemon flavor just takes them over the edge!

21 Day Fix Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

21 Day Fix Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Ingredients:

  • 1 c oats, ground (1 1/4 c rolled oats)
  • 1 c ricotta
  • 1 c Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 c egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbs lemon juice, from a half of lemon (or whole)
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • strawberries and pure maple syrup for topping

Here’s how to make them:

Place the oats in a blender and blend until finely ground like flour. You’ll need about 1 1/4 cups rolled oats to make the 1 cup ground oats.

 Add ricotta cheese, yogurt, egg whites, baking soda, lemon juice, honey and lemon zest.
 
Blend until mixed well, scraping down the sides if needed.
 
Heat pan to medium.  
 
Pour batter into desired size pancake.
 
When bubbles form in the center AND the edges are dry, gently flip the pancake.

Continue cooking pancakes until finished.
 
Top with strawberries (if desired) and 
 
Makes about 16 pancakes.
 Here are some notes from Chellie that you might want to keep in mind when you make these:
 
These are delicate pancakes, so be patient in flipping them.  Make sure there is a dry edge all the way around and the bubbles are in the center.  I slide my spatula around all the edges before actually flipping the whole thing.  If the first couple fall apart, it’s okay, your normal.  
 
Once my pan was good and hot, I turned the stove down to a medium low for a nice color. Otherwise they brown too fast.
 
If you use a non-stick pan, you shouldn’t need any oil.  But if I were to use any, I’d probably do coconut oil spray to keep it on the light side.
21 Day Fix Container Counts: This recipe makes four servings (four pancakes each). Each serving is: 1 1/4 yellow, 1/2 red (actually a teensy bit more) – don’t forget to count the strawberries (purple) and maple syrup (teaspoon), as well as any butter (teaspoon) you add, too. 

Happy Breakfast, y’all!

I am not sure how much batter to use. I know you said a big spoon but do you know the exact measurement? I have different sized big spoons
