Raspberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Lavender Honey…It’s like having a little bit of Spring on your plate!
I used raspberries in this recipe, but you could easily sub strawberries too. I would just make sure to slice them if you do. This recipe comes together fairly easy and is perfect for a weekend breakfast but fancy enough for having guests over for brunch.
One of the great additions to these pancakes is the lavender honey. Trust me, maple syrup just doesn’t do it for me with these pancakes. I think the strong flavor of the maple over powers the more delicate flavors of the raspberries and lemon.And, the lavender honey is not just great with these pancakes but would taste amazing in a glass of iced or hot tea. If you made the lemon blueberry pancakes from the blog and have some lavender sugar in your pantry, feel free to use that because I did and it was amazing!
You will see from the recipe that I used lavender essential oil to flavor the honey and also used some lemon essential oil to bump up the lemon flavor in the pancakes. Did you know that you can use essential oils in cooking? Yes, you can but keep in mind that not all essential oils are created equally and some are not safe to ingest.
Check out my post Essential Oils 101 where I break it down for you. When used safely, essential oils can be a great flavoring agent for your recipes. Here are some other recipes on the blog that use essential oils:
- Lavender Blueberry Ice Cream
- GF Lemon Thyme Scones with Lavender Honey Butter
- Pineapple Ginger Faux-jito
- No Bake Lemongrass Cheesecake with Candied Ginger Crust
- GF Lemon Blueberry Pancakes with Lavender Sugar
And there you have it…a simple, easy and delicious pancake recipe. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoyed creating them and eating them of course!
