Delicious and nutritious Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes that are high in protein and perfect for a family breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract until everything is blended smoothly.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, or until the edges start to lightly brown.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with additional lemon zest and a drizzle of honey, if desired.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can also add a splash of almond extract for a flavor twist.
