PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
Make breakfast extra special with easy lemon ricotta pancakes topped with sweet cherry preserves.
Mother’s Day is just under a month away! 
Instead of dealing with the chaos of brunch out, why not give Mom a little bit of serenity at home with a super fancy breakfast in bed? Say it with homemade with my super easy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Cherry Preserves.
For the pancake topping, I paired the lemon ricotta pancakes with cherry preserves from Bonne Maman. The sweet preserves with a hint of tart are the perfect compliment to this dish. Don’t forget to add a dusting of powdered sugar and some maple syrup if you’d like!
Bonne Maman preserves are made with natural ingredients and high-quality fruit that is Non-GMO Project Verified. Their preserves and jellies are crafted from traditional French recipes and there’s never any high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring or preservatives added.
