Yummy Vegan Lemon & Poppyseed Pancakes

I have not shared many recipes this year on my blog. I am sorry. I guess you could say I have been busy! My twins are now 9 months old and both crawling. I spend my days changing nappies, preparing food, cleaning said food from the floor, hanging clean laundry, folding laundry and putting toys away. But I love it! 

To add to the crazy busy life I already have; I am going to study a Master of Nutrition with Deakin University online starting in July! I am starting with 2 units and will probably take around 3 years to finish it! I am so excited to become a qualified nutritionist! I am also looking forward to studying again. I never thought I would say that! 

After quite a few trials of different vegan, gluten free, healthy pancakes recipes with some hits and fails I have found the perfect pancake recipe inspired by Cookieandkate's pancake recipe.

It is vegan but I have yet to try this recipe with GF flour. I love love love lemon & poppyseed cake and it tastes amazing in those pancakes. They were a big hit with my husband, my sister and the twins. (They tried a tiny piece of mine and some sugar free ones made specifically for them.) I have also made them using self raising wholemeal flour and they were perfect.

This simple vegan pancake recipe can easily be customised to your taste; remove the lemon & poppy seeds, add berries, add chocolate chips, add banana, or keep them natural with just maple syrup drizzled on top.
