These Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes are bright with lemon and little bursts of poppyseeds. Perfect for anytime you want to brighten your morning!
These lovely Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes are bright with lemon and little bursts of poppyseeds and topped off with fresh berries and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Gorgeous and delicious!
These Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes are refined sugar free, dairy free, egg free, and oil free.
The lemons bring lots of Vitamin C and the poppy seeds provide fiber, B vitamins, iron, calcium, potassium and healthy unsaturated fats.
And if you top these vegan pancakes with fresh berries, you’ll have a lot more vitamins and minerals there too!
You can easily make a big batch of these and freeze them for quick and easy breakfasts all week long.
Just pop them in the toaster or reheat gently in a skillet..or even the microwave for a few seconds.
They also make a great lunchbox item. My son loves it when I send breakfast for lunch.
I put a whole ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice in these Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes. You can tone it down a notch if you wish, but I actually like to taste the lemon.
Lemon is a flavor that tends to get overpowered in baked goods, including pancakes, and I didn’t want that to happen here.
For that same reason, I chose to go with neutral soy milk for the liquid, but your favorite non-dairy milk would work (Almond or Cashew milk should work fine…even lite Coconut milk. I think Rice milk might be too thin, though).
Now, go make up a big batch and call the family to the table. It’s breakfast time!

Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup flaxmeal
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened, non-dairy milk I used soy. Cashew, almond, or oat, would work, too.
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice use 2-3 tbsp if you want less lemon flavor
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Pancake Topping Suggestions:
- Sliced fresh berries
- Shredded coconut
- Fruit jam
- Pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, flaxmeal, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt in a small mixing bowl.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the nondairy milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Pour the dry into the wet and whisk to combine.
- Add the poppyseeds and stir to combine.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a spritz of cooking spray if you don’t have non-stick pan.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake – do not crown the pan.
- Cook about 4 minutes on the first side. When the edges start to pull away from the pan, it's ready to flip. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side. Adjust the heat as necessary.
- Repeat until all the batter is gone.
- Top with your favorite pancake toppings and serve immediately.

Just made these – they are delicious and my 22 month old loves them! Just wondering – is your nutritional information based per pancake or per serving (~3 pancakes)? Thanks so much!
Jenn S. says
Oh, that’s great to hear! Anytime a toddler approves, that’s a win! The nutrition info is per serving, not per pancake. Obviously, serving size will depend on how big/small you make the pancakes, but I estimated 1 serving to about 1/4th of the whole batch. Thanks for your comment!
Leann says
Can an egg replace the flaxmeal? And how many?
Jenn S. says
Hi, Leann. Yes, you should be able to use one egg instead of the flax. You might need to reduce the milk a little bit…maybe start with 1 cup and add more as necessary to get the consistency of pancake batter. Sorry, I can’t be more specific. Let me know how it goes.
