    Are you a morning person? I’m not. I’m a total night owl and love to stay up late. Working on my blog, watching that latest episode of Downton Abbey, or cuddling on the couch with my man. I just despise waking up early. Totally not my thing. I may (sometimes) wake up grumpy, but you know what always cheers me up? Making a yummy breakfast for my family!

    About these mini lemon pancakes:

    These mini lemon pancakes are almost too cute for words. I’m already a huge fan of pancakes of any kind, but make them tiny…just stop it. I’ve accepted the fact that every treat becomes irresistible when it’s in it’s tiny form. Mini cupcakes, mini cheesecakes, bite-size cookies, brownie bites. I just can’t say no. I also can’t stop myself at just one.

    Getting lemon flavor in the lemon pancakes:

    Back to these adorable pancakes. They are gluten, dairy, egg free and so fun! I added fresh lemon juice and lemon zest because, well, I love all things lemon. The double dose of lemon juice and zest really brings out the zing in these lemon pancakes! The pancakes are so light and fluffy and get nice and golden from the coconut oil.

    Serving and storing these gluten-free vegan pancakes:

    This batch makes quite a few, but they freeze and store quite well. These mini pancakes are great to make for school mornings too. My kids love them with either peanut butter, fresh berries or pure maple syrup. If you freeze the pancakes, just heat them up in the microwave or on a skillet with a little oil. Good to go!

    Frequently Asked Questions about these Gluten Free Vegan Pancakes:

    Can you freeze vegan pancakes?

    Yes. To freeze pancakes, allow them to cool fully. Then layer pancakes between sheets of waxed paper in a freezer container or freezer bag for up to one month. Vegan pancakes are best served warm, so reheat them fully before serving in the microwave, oven or in a skillet.

    How do you make lemon pancakes?

    To make the best lemon flavored pancakes, add both fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the pancake batter. figure at least 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest of ½ a lemon for each cup of dry mix.

    What are vegan pancakes made of?

    To make light, fluffy vegan pancakes, we use:
    All Purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
    baking powder
    salt
    unsweetened coconut milk
    coconut oil
    maple syrup
    vanilla extract

    Is maple syrup vegan?

    Yes, maple syrup is vegan. Pure maple syrup comes from the sap of maple trees. Specifically, maple syrup comes from the sap of sugar maples, red maples or black maple trees primarily, although other types of maple trees can produce sap too.
    The sap is then cooked down to produce syrup. It takes about 40 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon of maple syrup, since the sap is mostly water. So, pure maple syrup is entirely plant-derived.
