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

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.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 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.

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
