Lemon Blueberry Pancakes with Lemon Honey Yogurt Sauce {Paleo + Grain Free}

These pancakes are light and bright on the palette and offer up a sunny start to the day. The base of this recipe was from Elana's Pantry Silver Dollar Pancakes. The recipe is paleo, super easy and delicious! We make them often. I've started to play with the recipe and came up with the rendition that you'll see below: Lemon Blueberry Pancakes. The Lemon Honey Sauce is the perfect topping to these delicately sweet pancakes. 

Lemon Blueberry Pancakes {Grain Free + Paleo}

makes 16 pancakes

Ingredients

3 Pasture Eggs

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

zest of 1 lemon

5 drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons local honey

1/2 cup blueberries

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

coconut oil or pasture butter for cooking

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon essential oil and honey. Add in almond flour, salt and baking soda and mix together until well combined. Heat coconut oil or butter into a griddle or skillet over medium heat. One at a time scoop 1 very heaping tablespoon or half of a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. At this time I like to hand place the blueberries on top of the cooking pancakes so that I can control the amount of blueberries in each pancake. Pancakes will begin to form little bubbles all over when ready to flip. Flip over and cook other side for an additional minute or so. Remove from heat and repeat the process with the remaining batter. We like to top with the Lemon Honey Yogurt, maple syrup and extra blueberries.

Lemon Honey Yogurt

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk unsweetened organic yogurt

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon local honey {you could also use agave or maple syrup}

4 drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil

Tip: Often times I double this recipe and keep in the refrigerator for the next day or freeze for the following week. They are great defrosted in the toaster! 

Enjoy!
