One-Bowl Blueberry Lemon Pancakes
Tender, lightly sweet, and bursting with berries, One-Bowl Blueberry Lemon Pancakes are simple to whip up and make for the perfect healthy weekend treat.
We are on a bit of a pancake kick around here.
Elle is going through a growth spurt, and seems to be a bottomless pit when it comes to her favorite meal.
I’m grateful for her appetite, since there are definitely times when I can’t get her to eat even one bite.
It’s funny how children’s appetites seem to ebb and flow during different time in their development, and I always try to take advantage of her “hungry” times to fill her belly with as many real food recipes as possible.
Pancakes are definitely at the top of list when it comes to Elle’s favorite meals, so we’ve been making batch after batch, and then freezing what we don’t eat so we can reheat on busy weeknight mornings.
We love these One-Bowl Blueberry Mini-Muffins so much I thought I’d create a pancake version, with a little lemon to add some zing.
The flavor in these pancakes is spot on, and a healthy sprinkle of juicy blueberries really takes things over the top.
I like to serve a steaming hot stack of these lovelys with a drizzle of pure maple syrup for Elle and a smear of almond butter + blueberry jam for me. So good!
I hope you’ll try this one soon. Now, let’s make some One-Bowl Blueberry Lemon Pancakes!
