Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: a lighter breakfast pancake that is bursting with a lemon flavor! Serve with a side of scrambled eggs and fresh fruit for a delicious way to wake up!
Breakfast is a big deal on the weekends here in this household. Every weekend we have a family breakfast, that consists of either pancakes or waffles and scrambled eggs. My kids look forward to our weekly breakfast and it’s such a special way to start the weekend and talk about how our busy week went 🙂 I decided to try out a Weight Watcher friendly recipe, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. These lighter pancakes are low in points, at only 2 points a pancake, but bursting with flavor!

Our favorite way to enjoy these lemon ricotta pancakes is with some fresh fruit and a side of scrambled eggs, which makes this one low point delicious breakfast that the whole family will love! I always love serving recipes that my kids actually love and will eat as well instead of me always having to make myself something separate when I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle.
