These deliciously fluffy vegan lemon blueberry pancakes are made with fresh and bright ingredients and are completely egg and dairy free.  Great to make for breakfast or brunch or even to make ahead for your vegan meal prep to have ready for a busy weekday or a lazy weekend.

INGREDIENTS FOR VEGAN LEMON BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • Flour: I use all-purpose flour. For a gluten-free version, you could use a 1:1 gluten-free flour. Or for a slightly healthier version, you can use oat flour.
  • Baking Powder: to help the pancakes rise.
  • Baking Soda: to make the pancakes extra fluffy.
  • Salt: to enhance the flavors.

WET INGREDIENTS

  • Plant Milk: I use almond milk, but almost any non-dairy milk will work.
  • Unsweetened Applesauce: this acts as our egg replacement and adds moisture.
  • Vegan Butter: for a rich buttery flavor and to add fat.
  • Lemon Zest: to give the pancakes a fresh lemon flavor.
  • Lemon Juice: the acid from this will help activate the baking soda and contribute to the fluffiness as well as add fresh lemon flavor.
  • Lemon Extract: For a more intense lemon flavor. 
  • Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are preferred. The flavor and texture of fresh berries are definitely worth it.
  • Oil: for cooking. I use refined coconut oil, but any high heat neutral oil will work well.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN LEMON BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients.  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Melt the butter.  In a small dish, heat the vegan butter in the microwave for 15-second intervals until the butter is fully melted.
  3. Zest and juice the lemon. 
  4. Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, add the plant milk, applesauce, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract. Mix until combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until mostly incorporated.
  6. Add the blueberries and gently mix the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Rest. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
  8. Heat a skillet to medium-low heat and add about 2 tablespoons of oil.
  9. Cook. When the oil starts to shimmer, add about ¼ cup of batter to the skillet for each pancake and cook until the surface of the pancakes start to bubble, about 2 minutes.
  10. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional  2 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Serve these pancakes with the toppings of your choice, but you can never go wrong with butter and maple syrup.
  12. Enjoy!

HOW TO STORE VEGAN LEMON BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

Store these pancakes in an airtight container or freezer bag, for 2-3 days in the refrigerator or 30 days in the freezer. This is great for saving time in the morning!
