Lemons are known for their high vitamin C content, which strengthens the immune system.
Ingredients for making blueberry and lemon pancakes
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen ones work just as well. For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also adjust the sweetness by using maple syrup or agave nectar in place of sugar.
- All-purpose flour, you can use whole wheat flour, but it may change the texture a little.
- Sugar, salt, and baking powder. Look for a baking powder that does not contain aluminum; it is better for your health.
- Blueberries and lemon. As I said before, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries. You need the zest and juice of the lemon. Look for organic lemons if you can; buying organic fruit when we eat the peel is better.
- Vegetable milk and oil. For the milk, use almond or oat milk; you can also use rice milk if you want lighter pancakes. For the oil, use olive or any other vegetable oil that you have on hand. Sub with butter if you wish.

Best tips for perfect pancakes
Batter consistency: Pancake batter should be thick enough to hold its shape in the pan but not so thick that it cannot be poured.
Do not over-mix the dough: Mix the dry and wet ingredients a little at a time until combined. If you mix too much, the pancakes may become hard and chewy.
Let the dough rest: Allowing the dough to rest for 10-15 minutes can help the ingredients to blend, and the flavors develop.
Even temperature: Ensure your pan or griddle is hot before pouring the batter. This will help the pancakes brown evenly.
Cooking over medium heat: Cooking pancakes on too high a heat can cause them to burn on the outside before they are cooked on the inside. A medium heat ensures even cooking.
Do not press the pancakes: Avoid the temptation to press the pancakes with the spatula while cooking. This can cause them to lose their fluffiness and deliciousness.
Flip at the right time: Flip the pancakes when you see bubbles on the surface, and the edges start to look cooked.
