Good morning friends,
Happy Monday to you all.
I just know this week is going to be a good one….one reason is because mine started with having pancakes for breakfast yesterday. Pancakes were seriously one of my all time favorite foods growing up, and still are.
Lori and I love lemon.
Lori and I love almonds.
And even better together.
Lemon Almond Pancakes (gluten free, vegan, soy free)
Ingredients:
adapted from our Tiramisu Pancakes
- 1/3 cup millet flour
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup arrowroot starch
- 2 tbsp flax meal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 10 drops of liquid stevia (or 1 tbsp sugar)
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup buttermilk*
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- zest of one lemon
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Makes about 12 pancakes
*we made our own buttermilk using 1 cup coconut milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice, let sit about 10 minutes
Mix all ingredients into a bowl, add more or less buttermilk depending how thick or thin you like your pancakes. I like thick, so tend to do less liquid. I used a cookie scooper to pour batter onto hot skillet pan, little oiled.
Substitutions:
- flours – use you favorite flour
- flax – chia seeds
- buttermilk – water or plain non-dairy milk
We enjoyed our lemon almond pancakes with lemon flavored maple syrup. We simple mixed together some lemon juice with maple syrup.
I think Heather would approve this pancakes for Pancake Sunday!
Love the lemon almond combo.
Twins Question: What food flavor combos are you enjoying lately? Do you like lemon flavored foods?
I personal love lemon flavored cookies, and now pancakes.
Till next time,
Michelle

I keep seeing pancakes all over the blog world today and it’s making me crave some like WOAH. These look delish! too bad I lack over half the ingredients- haha
I guess we all think, or should I say crave, alike
they’re so fluffy! i love my panckaes like that
me too Lynn
You two know the way to my heart, and stomach. I love lemon, but I don’t often crave that flavor, except in the summer when it’s all I want. Good timing
Have a great Monday dears!
xoxo Katie!
I LOVE PANCAKES! And I love how fluffy these are too! Fluffy are the best. I might sprinkle some poppyseeds in too… Yummm
Desi yes poppyseeds would have been a nice addition!!!
These look like perfection- and those are my favourite flavours too! I always used to make crepes with lemon and sugar, YUM!!
Gillian your crepes sound wonderful.
Oh woww, these look so good (: actuall, I think I might make them now!
Hello, by the way! Don’t think I’ve commented before, but have been following for a while and love what you’re doing xx
Thanks for stopping in and saying hello Lana!
I like savory and lemon, but I can’t do sweet. I made the mistake of prepping for my colonoscopy with lemonade…not a good call. These look amazing! You two know how I love pancakes and waffles!
oh my gosh- I imagine these being so completely irresistible! They look wonderful and I am the OTHER Lori who loves lemon and almond and the two together.
Delicious. And beautiful.
My favorite combo at the moment is cacao and instant (decaf) coffee granules… mixed into everything!
thanks Lori! we will have to send you some next time haha
Yum yum yum, I love lemon in anything! I’m one of those weird kids that’ll chomp down on a plain lemon even. These pancakes look GREAT! Other flavors I’m currently in love with are garam masala on greens and fennel in most any meat substitute or with cabbage.
Thanks Allie! Garam masala is a spice we still need to play around with!
These look amazing! I kind of always have a craving for pancakes. Too bad I just made (gf vegan)chocolate coconut banana bread AND edamame corn bread. Ahhhh so much baking. Although it’s all good fun.
I love lemon everything! Lemon maple syrup sounds genius.
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
Thanks Ela it was a last minute idea we had! LOL
Agreed on pancakes, they rank pretty high for me too.
This recipe look wonderful and I can’t wait to try it, thanks!
I do like lemon, but I’m enjoying fresh mint mixed with fruits lately.
Thanks Christine! Fresh mint is amazing as well
i would love this flavor combo! i’ve never used millet flour…is the texture dense like nut flours or thinner like a traditional flour with gluten. obviously i can’t have the ones with gluten but does it give a fluffier result? i always seem to get flatter cakes using coconut flour.
Melissa – millet is one of our favorite gluten free flours, it gives great texture. Coconut flour can be dense sometimes, so millet is lighter.
Lately I have been putting garlic in all of my lunch and dinner meals and also omelets. I do like lemon and I actually put that in my tuna salads that give it a nice tangy taste. My favorite food flavor combination would be vegetables in my pancakes or breakfast foods. (additionally I like to put sweet peas in my oatmeal – it’s actually really good!) My favorite pancake I made up is “carrot cake” pancakes. I use oatmeal flour, flax meal, cinnamon, eggs, almond milk and cooked carrots. For me sugar isn’t needed because the carrots and almond milk are naturally sweet and those who want it sweeter can just put maple syrup on top. I blend this all together and put them in the waffle maker or skillet. Feel free to make these pancakes and let me know how you like them!
Jessica oh yes those pancakes sound great!
OMG im drooling pancakes are my favorite thing ever come make these for me!
Oh, I have been waiting for this resipe! The the photos looks soo good! I love to zest lemons on top of my grain salads- really makes them a whole lot better!
yum I love pancake variations and this is certainly a combo I have never thought of before! Can’t wait to try them
Holy moly those look amazing! I love pancakes too, always have. Pancakes are one of the first foods I learned to make myself, although I still haven’t perfected the fluffy light pancakes. I’ve tried lots of different flavours but never lemon – I believe it’s now time to try that! Thanks for the recipe.
I just can’t get enough lemon flavor – but in pancakes? Love this idea! I just made Raw Berry Tartlets that are heavy on the citrus and zest. Sweet + Tart = The Perfect Treat!

These look soooo delicious! I love lemon in pancakes — it’s one of my favorite combos. Beautiful photos.
oh my. Another recipe I’m bookmarking to make soon. Mmm! Thanks for sharing (again) – love that you share.
I love reading your blog….I’m from Slovenia, Europe and I really don’t know what arrowroot starch is….I think they don’t sell it here….so is there any substitute for it? Thank you! =)
Eva thanks! Now for arrowroot starch, we use it in our gluten free and vegan baked goods so help make the texture lighter as most gluten free flours can make this real dense. there are two other great starches out there like tapioca starch and potato starch. I hope this helps.
I definitely recommend it! An easy introduction is just simple sauteed kale (or other greens) plus some fresh ginger and a health dash of garam masala.
