Fluffy Lemon Blueberry Pancakes (gluten free, paleo, and nut free)

Jump to Recipe

Perfectly fluffy lemon blueberry pancakes loaded with juicy blueberries and bursting with lemon flavor. Gluten free, paleo, and nut free.

Summer vacation has officially started around here, which means Little One is out of school, and this mama is recalibrating in order to find that work/life balance that gets tricky for those of us who work from home.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE spending time with my girl and am beyond grateful that I get to work from home and be available when she needs me. But let’s be honest, juggling it all can be challenging.

I’ve learned that getting up super early to get some work done is my best option. Lucky for me, I’m a morning person. I can usually sneak in a couple more hours of work mid-morning while Little One reads or plays with a friend. I leave afternoons open for playing outside in the yard or for adventuring out to the ocean or the pool.

This is why I do what I do and why I’ve set up my life to be flexible. I want my daughter to remember me being there. To me, summer is about making memories. Of fun pool days. Of eating popsicles. Of lazy pancake breakfasts.

Because life is short, and we never get these days back. So here we are, on a lazy Tuesday morning, making fluffy lemon blueberry pancakes. (Oh, and can I say how awesome it is to actually have a little hand model to help me with photographing?)

Here’s the recipe deets:

cassava flour… gluten and grain free. It’s the closest thing to traditional flour that I’ve found. And it makes excellent pancakes. THIS is the brand that I like.

lightly sweetened… with a ripe banana. This gives a nice flavor and texture to these perfectly fluffy pancakes.

lemon… the fresh and bright flavor of fresh lemon juice and zest gives just the right pop.

blueberries… imagine each bite bursting with a warm, sweet blueberries. Mmmmmmmm!

light and fluffy… the batter will be thicker than traditional pancake batter – more like a thick cake batter. This makes for a nice thick, fluffy pancake with just the right texture. Be sure to cook pancakes on a lower heat so the insides get cooked as well.

toppings… we like to use a dairy free yogurt, fresh blueberries, a bit of lemon zest, and chia seeds. But be creative here: almond butter, honey, maple syrup, raspberries, applesauce, whipped coconut cream, etc.

PRO TIP: My pancakes never turn out perfectly round, which is OK. But someone gifted me a set of silicone pancake rings, and I’m obsessed. Perfect round, even-sized pancakes every time.

I really can’t decide if I like these better than my fluffy sweet potato pancakes. But they sure are tasty and filling. Making memories has never been so delicious. Happy summer, friends.

Katja

Description

Perfectly fluffy lemon blueberry pancakes loaded with juicy blueberries and bursting with lemon flavor. Gluten free, paleo, and nut free.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana – mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • zest from one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, ghee, or coconut oil – melted
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp milk or water (THIS is what I use)
  • 3/4 cup cassava flour (I use THIS brand)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • fat for cooking

Instructions

  1. Whisk together mashed banana, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, melted fat, and milk/water. Add cassava flour and baking soda and mix until smooth.  Fold in blueberries.
  2. Heat large skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat and liberally grease with your favorite fat.  
  3. Scoop 1/4 cup batter onto a hot skillet, gently smooth out top of pancake with bottom of measuring cup and cook until cooked through – about 3 minutes on each side.  Lower heat is better for this thick batter as you want to make sure middle gets cooked all the way through. 
  4. Top with all of your favorite things.  Enjoy!

Notes

The  batter will be thicker than traditional pancake batter – more like a thick cake batter.  I prefer this as it makes thicker, fluffier pancakes.  Feel free to thin out with a bit more milk/water if you prefer thinner pancakes. 

My pancakes never turn out perfectly round, which is OK. But someone gifted me a set of silicone pancake rings, and I’m obsessed. Perfect round, even-sized pancakes every time.

    Made these and they were awesome! I have to eat a diet free from grain and dairy but even my teen daughter loves them too.

💪 according to data from the Centers for Diseas 💪 according to data from the Centers for Disease Control, only about 23 percent of all U.S. adults get the recommended amount of exercise per week • that is at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week, in addition to muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week 

💪 lack of movement and sedentary lifestyles are contributing to the rise in chronic illnesses and premature aging • lack of exercise leads to inflammation, weight gain, increased insulin resistance, and muscle loss • this opens the door for chronic illnesses like heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and dementia 

💪 benefits of regular exercise:

* improved cardiovascular health
* decreases blood pressure 
* stress reduction 
* decreases body mass index 
* improved brain health 
* improved mood
* decreases anxiety and depression 
* improved blood sugar balance 
* increased energy 

💪 regular exercise, combined with a nutrient-rich real food diet, is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself • and will drastically reduce your risk for the standard american diseases

💧 water triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s ‘rest and digest’ response • your heart rate and blood pressure lowers, your digestion is stimulated and your body is able to relax

💧 when you’re immersed in water, your body sends out signals to change the balance of catecholamines (the hormones responsible for our ‘fight-or-flight’ response) to a level that’s similar to the balance found when you’re meditating or relaxing • so when you’re swimming, you’re basically meditating underwater

💧 why do so many of us LOVE the ocean? • when a wave breaks, the turbulence it creates is said to alter the physical structure of the water and air • water and air molecules are broken apart, releasing negative ions into the atmosphere • some research suggests that these ions can even increase the circulation of oxygen in our bodies and boost our mood
