    We all know that pancakes are the ultimate breakfast food - but not only are traditional pancakes full of carbs - they can also get a little boring when you eat them week after week.

    These lemon poppy seed pancakes come together using only a blender so clean up is a breeze! If you don’t have a blender (get one) you could also use an electric mixer.

    I decided to make the sauce because I just didn’t feel like traditional pancake syrup would do these unique lemon pancakes justice and it turned out great.

    It’s a little tangy, a little sweet, and a touch creamy and really puts these pancakes over the top.

    Do yourself a favor and stick to fresh lemon for this recipe. You really need to lemon zest and fresh lemon juice is the best!

    I also love to top them with fresh blueberries for an extra pop of flavor and sweetness.

      Hi Santa, to tell you the truth, I’ve read most of your recipes
      And they all look so delicious and inviting.
      My only problem is my son is lactose and casein
      Intolerant and I’m trying to find substitutes for
      The cream and and cream cheese.
      Are there substitutes for these?
      Thx and best regards,
      Fadia

        Hi Fadia! Thank you so much 🙂
        The cream can usually be substituted with coconut milk and there are vegan "cream cheeses" made with coconut milk. (Go Veggie makes a good one!) I haven't used the cream cheese substitutes personally, but I think it would be worth a shot for sure.

        I hope this helps and if you try it, let me know how it goes!
