Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes with Blueberry Compote

August 28, 2014 4 Comments

Lemon-Poppy-Seed-Pancakes

You guys – LEMON. And BLUEBERRY. Together forever in these delicious, fluffy pancakes pancakes, loaded with their other best friend – poppy seeds. And then into my belly one after one because omg yumzzzzz.

The lemon and blueberry combination has always been a favourite of mine, but in pancakes it’s the best. THE BEST.

Normally I just add blueberries to the batter, but this time I went ALL. OUT. (not really, it takes less than 10 minutes, and all you do is throw 3 ingredients into a pot) and made a blueberry compote to go on top of the pancakes. And it was the best decision ever and I will never go back to blueberries inside the pancakes again.

Not. a. chance. Just look at that blueberry goo! Now imagine biting into those pancakes with a scoop of blueberry compote on top, and then close your eyes, chew slowly and OMG are you drooling yet?

I am. I must make more lemon pancakes. But I have a basket of peaches on the counter so maybe I will make a peach compote this time.

Oh my, I think I have created a monster. A delicious, lemony, amazing breakfast monster that just won’t stop! Not that I want it to, of course…

Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
Recipe Type: Breakfast
Author: Vegan Insanity
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 6-8 pancakes
Ingredients
  • Pancakes
  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax seed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup kamut flour (or all-purpose)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (1 medium lemon)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • Blueberry Compote
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
Instructions
Pancakes
  1. Make your flax egg and set aside to allow it to thicken up.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add in the non-dairy milk, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds and flax egg. Mix everything well, but do not over-mix.
  3. Warm your pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Spray with non-stick spray and scoop 1/4 cup of the pancake mix (per pancake) onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles start to form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until cooked through.
  4. Repeat until all batter is gone.
Blueberry Compote
  1. Add all ingredients to a small pot and heat over medium-low for about 10 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Mash down the blueberries with a fork and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve over pancakes and top with shredded coconut, if you’d like!
