Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes with Oats
Some combinations always work wonderfully together. Just think of cinnamon and sugar, blueberries and vanilla, or tomato and basil. Lemon and poppy seeds are also a combination that works out extremely delicious. To give your breakfast pancakes a little update, we not only replaced part of the flour with oats but also mixed in lemon juice and poppy seeds!
To make your pancakes fluffy, we recommend using a non-stick frying pan to prepare the pancakes. We don't even need oil to bake the pancakes and still get a great, smooth surface. But you can also use oil if you want to. Make sure you let the pancakes brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes, so they have enough time to rise and come out wonderfully fluffy! You can serve the pancakes with maple syrup, agave syrup, chocolate cream, fruits, plant-based yogurt, or a fruit compote.
We are very happy that [Kölln] (https://www.koelln.de/) supported us with this recipe! For the pancake dough, we processed the [Kölln oats] (https://www.koelln.de/produkte/haferflocken/bluetenzart/) into flour, which allowed us to replace part of the regular flour. The oats consist of 100% wholegrain oats and are grown in Germany, Finland and Sweden. Kölln's [oat drink] (https://www.koelln.de/produkte/haferdrinks/) also consists of whole grain oats and comes from organic farming. Both products go super well together and give the pancakes a wonderfully taste of oats! You can find out more about the advantages and type of oats [here] (https://www.koelln.de/produkte/haferflocken/).
