Lemon and poppy seed is one of my favorite combinations! Poppy seeds add a great flavor and crunch to any dessert. They also add nutrients because poppy seeds are rich in calcium, iron, and zinc. In combination with fresh fruit and the zesty flavor of lemon, this recipe will make for the perfect Sunday breakfast!

for about 10 pancakes

• 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp poppy seeds
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other vegetable oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• ½ cup blueberries

Directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, add remaining wet ingredients and combine.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, fold in lemon zest and mix until the batter is smooth.
4. Heat a small pan over medium heat and use a small cup (¼ cup) to scoop out batter. Drop the batter on a hot, oiled pan and place 4-5 blueberries on each pancake.
5. When bubbles start appearing on the pancake, flip it and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve with yogurt, fresh fruit, cream, or any other toppings you like.
