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.

💗 learning to regulate my nervous system has be 💗 learning to regulate my nervous system has been a BIG part of my healing journey • my nervous system was dysregulated from many years of chronic stress • learning to signal safety to my body and lowering cortisol levels has allowed my nervous system to settle 

💗 the body doesn’t differentiate stress • work stress, financial stress, emotional stress, toxic burden stress (mold, heavy metals, parasites, etc), lifestyle stress (poor eating, lack of exercise, poor sleep) ... it’s all the same • and it puts to body in a high cortisol state 

💗 healing and detoxification is a parasympathetic process • it cannot happen if the body is always timed ON 

💗 cortisol affects so many things in the body: 

- lowers metabolism (weight gain)
- affects thyroid function
- decreases sex hormones,  especially progesterone (fertility issues)
- affects digestion (gas, bloating, heartburn)
- decreases body’s ability to detoxify 

💗 the body doesn’t let go if it doesn’t feel safe • signaling safety on a regular basis to the nervous system helps the body let go of:

- traumas/emotions
- toxicities
- parasites
- excess toxic water weight (fat is a storage place for toxins)

💗 my favorite ways to regulate the nervous system: 

- slow down in every aspect of life 
- stop over-scheduling yourself 
- meditation 
- binaural beats 
- prioritizing good sleep 
- getting out in nature 
- breath work 
- snuggling (partners, kids, pets)
- getting enough calories and nutrient-dense foods 
- laughter 
- dancing 
- connections with people who light you up 
- staying well hydrated with minerals 
- addressing traumas/woundings
- regular movement (but don’t over-exercise)
