Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes
servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk, or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp sugar, pure cane; or coconut sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large lemon, or two small; zest and juice
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle to the manufacturer’s instruction for pancakes. If using a skillet, when ready heat skillet over medium – medium high heat.
- In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder, set aside.
- Add milk, vanilla and lemon juice to the dry mixture, mix just enough to combine. Add in poppy seeds and lemon zest, give a final quick mix, don’t over mix. Batter will foam up looking light and airy, this is a normal reaction. Let the batter rest for about 7 minutes. This step is important and will result in fuller looking pancakes. Give batter a quick stir before scooping.
- You may or may not want to grease your griddle lightly with coconut oil, or other oil of choice, depending if your griddle is non-stick or not. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop batter and place on the griddle, cook for about 2 – 2 ½ minutes, or until underside is golden, flip and cook another 2 – 2 ½ minutes.
- Serve with pure maple syrup. Fresh strawberries are a perfect accompaniment and will add some freshness.
- For added lemony flavor, use a little extra lemon or a ½ teaspoon of lemon extract. If you’re in a pinch and don’t have lemons on hand, use 3 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice instead.

I made this for breakfast today – it was quite tasty. One change – I used 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I think the recipe above contains an error. 2 tablespoons would ruin the taste and is overkill in my view. I also scattered some frozen blueberries on top as the pancakes were cooking.
Thanks for pointing this out Mike, we’ve updated the recipe! Happy baking!
I made this for my family. It was good but the amount of poppy seeds for the amount of batter is too much. I would start with 1 tsp.
OMG I can eat pancakes! I made this and LOVE THEM!! they are so lemony and fluffy, I grated the lemon peel and the squeeze the lemon juice, this are really good and healthy, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !! 🙂
Glad we could help Erika!
