It’s certainly not a secret how much I love citrus flavors. From lemon buttermilk waffles to coconut lime cheesecake bars and even a tangerine Julius, I’ve been loving it lately.

Recently when I shared my recipe for the lemon waffles, Jennett commented that she did not have a waffle iron and asked if she could make them as pancakes. I knew I just had to share this version of my buttermilk pancakes.

You’ll just need a few basic ingredients for the base of this recipe, but instead of buttermilk I use the juice of two lemons (2 tablespoons) in with my whole milk to create a buttermilk substitute. I think this deepens the lemony flavor in this recipe and is a great way to use the lemon since you’ll also need its zest for this recipe. You’ll also need a cup of fresh blueberries – not frozen.

These pancakes are light, fluffy and stuffed full of lemon and blueberry goodness.

But beware, once you make them, you’ll start getting requests for them left and right!

    Love this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it is fabulous. The trick is to carefully measure the flour or weigh it (128gm). As a note I like a very lemony taste so I added 1/2 tsp. Of lemon extract. And just experimenting added goat cheese crumbles – yum!!

    I love making pancakes for my family but sometimes they’re not the best? Yeah I’m not the best at pancakes. But this recipe was amazing and delicious. I’m getting better at making pancakes! Thank you! Without this site, I’d be terrible at cooking and I want to be a baker or chef.
