Vegan lemon & blueberries pancakes



Even when I’m not a vegan I really love eating plant based foods as much as I can, and I love making “vegan challenges” for a week or two going fully vegan, I find it’s a great detox, good for the environment , cheap and easy.

So on Sunday morning I was thinking about something good for breakfast, sweet and dessert like, that was of course pancakes and some weeks ago I had found an almond blueberries pancake recipe which was pretty good and fluffy but included eggs and lots of Greek yogurt so I wondered if I could kind of recreate that fluffy and soft texture with only plant based ingredients and well, the result was so good! 


These pancakes have a light lemon flavor, not too sweet and super soft, try them out! I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed c:
