Whether you have your favorite brunch spot around town or prefer making a whole breakfast spread at home, we can all agree that there's nothing quite like weekend brunch--you can actually enjoy breakfast without rushing out the door.

The touch of sweet blueberry date syrup creates the perfect contrast to the tartness from the lemon in the pancakes.

Ingredients you'll need:  

    1. Gluten-free All Purpose flour
      • We recommend using a gluten-free all purpose flour, not a gluten-free 1-to-1 for this recipe.
    2. Let’s Do Organic Cassava Flour
      • Made from yucca root, this naturally gluten-free flour is super light in texture and very absorbent.
    3. Coconut sugar
      • To get the sweetness we all love, while keeping it refined sugar-free, we added a little bit of coconut sugar. We don't recommend substituting with a liquid sweetener.
    4. Poppy seeds
    5. Joolies Blueberry Date Syrup
    6. Let’s Do Organic Tapioca Starch
      • This helps bind gluten free recipes and create the desired texture.
    7. Native Forest Organic Light Coconut Milk
      • We love this coconut milk because it has no added sugar, organic, and kosher certified! Be sure to use the cream and water when adding to the mix.
    8. Almond milk
      • We went with an almond milk for this one, but use whatever floats your boat! There's coconut, macadamia, or other blends that work just the same.
    9. Fresh Lemon
      • Fresh is always best and provides the perfect flavor. We'll need the juice and zest so don't toss your lemon after juicing! 
    10. Apple cider vinegar
      • A little bit of this is needed to help create fluffiness in our pancakes!
    11. Vanilla + sea salt
      • These help to compliment the other flavors!
    12. Baking Soda
      • Despite being such a small ingredient, this is essential to getting the FLUFF! 
    13. Rise Lemon Cashew Bar
      • This adds 15g of protein and makes a yummy, flavorful topping.
