Making the Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese and eggs. Add lemon zest, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
  5. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve warm, topped with Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and fresh berries.
