Dressed Up Box Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes (GF, DF, Paleo)

These Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes are made easily by using boxed pancake mix as well as real, whole food ingredients you can feel good about. I love to top them with homemade blueberry compote which is so easy to make yet it adds so much to the pancakes!

How to Make Them

1. Based on your pancake mix box instructions, measure out your ingredients (please see notes for how to add protein powder, if using). Be sure to replace 1 tbsp of the liquid in the recipe with 1 tbsp of lemon juice.
2. Add ingredients to a bowl along with the zest of 1-2 lemons (I like a lot so I use 2) as well as 2 tsp-1 tbsp poppyseeds.
3. Heat cooking oil of choice in a pan on the stove and allow your batter to sit for 10 minutes. See notes if your batter is too thin.
4. Bake pancakes on the stove and serve immedidately.
5. Don’t forget the blueberry compote as well as extra lemon zest to garnish!

Notes:

• To add protein powder, first add about 2 tbsp-1/4 cup of protein powder to your measuring cup, then fill the remaining amount with the pancake mix. This is totally optional!
• To add lemon juice, replace 1 tbsp of the liquid the box calls for with lemon juice.
• Allow your batter to sit for 10 minutes before pouring and baking.
• Make sure your oil of choice is hot before pouring the pancakes onto your pan/griddle.
• If your batter is too thin, feel free to mix in a little additional mix, if desired.

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES

Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.

If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.

I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!
