Lemon Blueberry Pancake Bites – Lemon blueberry pancake poppers, made these from scratch. These little poppers make the perfect easy breakfast recipe to start your day!
Today I’d like to welcome Felesha from the Say Grace blog for sharing with us. She has a special breakfast treat to share. And I’m so excited. Let’s get right into it! Like a face plant with these lemon bluebery pancake bites.
When Melanie invited me to do a guest post, I was overjoyed at the opportunity to share my yummy Lemon Blueberry Pancake Poppers. This recipe is such a family favorite and we just can’t get enough of ‘em. Lemons and blueberries make the perfect team and when they’re packed in a cute little pancake popper AND then drenched in a cream cheese icing, they become completely irresistible. I was able to share this delicious treat with mom, dad and of course, the wonderful hubby! Let me tell you…they certainly couldn’t stop talking about them just like my Sweet Potato Pecan Pancakes with Praline Butter!
I must share that I had the toughest time finding blueberries this past week. Something about a shortage in the south due to crop failure. Are you kidding me?!?!? After scouting out three different grocery stores to no avail, I had to believe it that it was true. Wow! I never thought I’d pay a whopping $6.99 for a half pint of blueberries but the urge was certainly strong for these yummy guys. NOTE: Don’t be like me though as frozen blueberries would have been just as perfect!! 🙂
Speaking of crop failure, I’ve been studying Mark 4 which discusses the farmer scattering seed (Word). Have you taken heed to what God’s Word says about a certain matter or what He has shared with you? What are you doing with this planted Word? Just as the farmer takes care of the seed that he’s planted by watering, tilling, fertilizing and weeding, we need to take care of the seed that’s been planted in our lives. If we don’t, the enemy can steal that seed by way of reasoning and through the entertainment of doubt. If God said it, hold on to it by faith and don’t doubt in your heart or with your mouth so that you can indeed reap the harvest that God has promised. I’m committed to working this biblical principle in my life. What about you? Say Grace and enjoy!!

- In a small bowl, mix evaporated milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest and rest it for about five minutes then add egg, vanilla, melted butter and whisk until combined.
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir to combine without over mixing.
- While allowing the batter to rise, heat ebelskiver cavities with a dot of butter over medium heat.
- Fill each cavity 3/4 full with batter and push 3-4 blueberries down into the batter. Cook for one minute.
- Flip the poppers over using two 2 wooden skewers and cook for another 1.5 minutes.

Hi,
could these be bakes in a mini cupcake pan ? or in a mini doughnut baker ?
Thanks
Hi Abby! Yes. Feel free to use a donut hole pan to get the same round result. Enjoy!!
I love anything with lemon and blueberry in it! These little pancake bites look so perfect and that cream cheese icing is even better! 🙂
Thanks Danielle! Let us know if you try them!
Wow these look and sound delicious!
Thanks so much Lucy!!
These are so cute! And so dangerously small, I could eat all of them myself 😉
I know EXACTLY what you mean, Grace!!! 🙂
I gotta try these. I never had pancake bites, thanks a lot
Enjoy Keith! You’ll love ’em!!
Fresh, summery, adorable breakfast on the go. What’s not to love about these little guys!?!
I couldn’t agree more, Karly!! 🙂
Hi, these sound yummy. Please tell me, what is an ebelskiver cavity ?Also, what temp. do we bake them in mini muffin tins ? Thanks
We have linked to an ebelskiver pan from Amazon in the recipe. These are cooked over the stove on medium heat. Not sure that a muffin pan would work here since they’re made on the stove top.
Thanks for stopping by Betty Ann! Hope you enjoy if you decide to try them!
Would these work as just regular pancakes ?
Felesha says : “Absolutely! I fry mine on the griddle with butter. Yum!!!”
Bless your kind heart. This is now THE recipe for pancakes I’ll be using at home. Blueberries aren’t common here in Brazil, but the staple pancake recipe with lemon is simply amazing. I loved the idea of using evaporated milk. The batter became so light and fluffy and perfect. Delicious!
Awesome Stephanie! So great to hear.
Thanks for taking the time to leave you feedback. Hope to see you around again here at Gather for Bread soon. 🙂
