Ricotta Pancakes w/ Blueberry Maple Syrup
What's great about it
The base to these pancakes is pure and simple and based around a classic bircher muesli where I love to fold in pillows of soft creamy curds of ricotta. The combination of oats and ricotta give these pancakes a decadence that allows the textures and flavours to dance in your mouth. My blueberry maple syrup is the finishing touch when you generously drizzle it over the top of the pancakes. A perfect recipe for Mother's Day! Enjoy!

Method
To make the pancakes
- Combine eggs, milk, oats, cinnamon, baking powder and flaxseed.

- Heat a non–stick pan over a low heat with a little macadamia nut or olive and spoon in the pancake mix, 2 tablespoons of mix per pancake.
- Cook over a low heat so that it cooks through.
- Flip over and cook the other side.
- Serve warm with blueberry maple syrup and a side of Greek Style yoghurt.
