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…

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 ¼ 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!

World’s Best Vegan Pancakes

April 15, 2014 4 Comments

Vegan-Pancakes

Growing up, we always had pancakes made from a mix in a box. “Just add water!”, it said. How hard could it be? Not hard, apparently.. but also, not delicious. And certainly not vegan.

Vegan pancakes can be tough. Instead of egg, many recipes call for banana as the binding agent, but personally, I don’t want my pancakes to taste like banana.. unless I want banana pancakes!

After a bit of experimentation, I’ve finally put together what I believe is the best vegan pancake recipe – no banana required!

  • ½ cup kamut flour (or all-purpose)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  4. Repeat until all batter is gone. Serve with fruit, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream, or whatever else your heart desires!
Notes
*Use something other than almond milk to make these pancakes nut-free (soy, rice, etc.).
