Pancaaaaaake Sunday! My favorite 🙂 Since it’s summer, I figured I should make something nice and summery – light and refreshing flavors, a hint of citrus and some fresh berries.  I’ve always been a little skeptical of combining my blueberries with anything lemony – I never wanted to risk ruining the flavor of my precious blueberries.  But today I decided to give it a shot and see why everyone else seems to think lemons and blueberries should go together.

Anyways…I was pleasantly surprised with the result here! I was careful not to add too much lemon so I wouldn’t overpower the pancakes.  Overall, I’d say this was quite an enjoyable combo for a summer morning 🙂 I used lemon extract in the topping and a tiny bit in the pancakes, plus a little bit of lemon zest in the pancake mix and some sprinkled on top.  It was just enough.  Oh, and I didn’t add all of the topping for the pictures…didn’t want to drown the pretty pancakes for their photo shoot! You get way more for the nutrition listed.

Of course I added lots of protein in the mix here too! 48 grams stuffed into this delicious stack, plus 9 grams of fiber.  The coconut flour really ups the fiber game in these.  If you don’t have cottage cheese for the topping, just use some fat free cream cheese – that will give it a more “real” cream cheese flavor.  I just don’t have any and it would go to waste if I bought some.  So I improvise…and it works just fine 🙂
