Serves 2 people
Ingredients
- 125 ml milk
- 60 g Greek yoghurt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 ½ tbsp honey
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice (about ½ medium lemon)
- ½ tbsp lemon zest (about ½ medium lemon)
- 100 g plain flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 batch Refined Sugar Free Lemon Curd, for serving (see notes for link)
- ½ batch Refined Sugar Free Whipped Cream, for serving (see notes for link)
- Fresh blueberries, for serving
Method
- Add the milk, yoghurt, egg, coconut oil, honey, lemon juice and zest to a bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk until all the flour disappears – it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to activate.
- Meanwhile, get a large non-stick skillet heating on the hob on a medium heat. Once the batter is ready and the pan is hot, drop 60ml (¼ cup) measures onto the pan. Allow them to cook for 30-60 seconds on the first side or until golden underneath and bubbles start to form on the top. Flip the pancake and let it cook another 15-30 seconds or until golden on the bottom.
- Set the pancake on a wire rack and repeat the process for the rest of the batter. It should make about 8 pancakes.
- Serve immediately with naturally sweetened Lemon Curd (see notes for recipe link), refined sugar free Whipped Cream (see notes for recipe link), and fresh blueberries.
Notes
- These pancakes are best served with Refined Sugar Free Lemon Curd for the best lemony flavour.

- These pancakes are best eaten on the day they are made. However, leftovers will keep wrapped in aluminium foil and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 10 minutes or until hot throughout.
