Ingredients

  • 200 grams or 1 3/4 cups flour I use 1/2 whole grain flour and 1/2 white flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 180 ml or 3/4 cup milk
  • 125 grams or 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 150 grams or 1 1/2 cups blueberries

Instructions

  • In a big mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl whisk together all the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, ricotta, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zest. Transfer the ricotta mixture into the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Add blueberries.
