Ingredients:Pancake Batter
Blueberry Sauce
In a small sauce pot, place 4 oz blueberries, 1/2 tsp stevia and 3 tbsp of water. Heat to medium low. When the berries start to breakdown add 2 tsp unsalted butter, 2 Tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp lemon zest. Simmer on a very low heat for 5 minutes until you have created a thick sauce with large pieces of blueberries in it. Remove from heat and place a lid on the sauce pot to keep warm.
Pancakes
Pre-heat griddle or flat skillet to medium.
In a bowl, combine 6 Tbsp flour, 2 tsp Stevia, and 2 tsp baking powder. Mix in 1/2 cup egg substitute, 1 cup ricotta cheese and 1 tsp lemon zest. Mix until well blended using a whisk or fork. Gently fold in 4 oz of blueberries.
Lightly spray griddle with non-stick olive oil spray.
Pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, then turn to brown opposite side.
Place pancakes into serving plates and top with your blueberry sauce.
