Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Waffles

Today I felt like waffles and bacon, but not just simple waffles. I wanted more to fill my waffle desire. Since I recently used half a container of ricotta in the Simple Stollen recipe, I decided to use up the leftovers by making ricotta waffles based on my Ricotta Pancake recipe. Seeing that I also had dried blueberries in the pantry from the Simple Stollen recipe and a lemon handy, why not make Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Waffles? If you liked the Ricotta Pancakes, I think you will really like this recipe too!

Total time: 10 mins

Serves: 1

Ingredients

5 tbsp all purpose flour
3 tsp granulated sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup dried blueberries, steeped in 1 tbsp hot water for at least 5 minutes and then drained
1 tsp canola oil

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
In a small bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese, egg, lemon juice and canola oil together.
Add the cheese mixture to the flour mixture.
Stir until just combined.
Fold in the drained and re-hydrated blueberries.
Pour approximately ⅔ cup of batter into the center of hot waffle iron.
Cook the waffle per waffle iron instructions or until steaming stops.
Serve with your favorite topping (syrup, whipped cream, honey, etc).

Notes

If using fresh or frozen blueberries, do not fold them into the batter. Instead spread blueberries onto the batter poured into the waffle iron. Fresh and frozen blueberries can break if folded into the batter, staining the whole waffle and possibly making it soggy.
