Baked pancakes with an extremely light lemon filling will definitely impress you!
Who doesn’t love pancakes ?! They are great for breakfast, dessert or even lunch, and in addition, they are quick to prepare, from just three ingredients. This time we made au gratin pancakes stuffed with extremely tasty lemon filling. A single bite into these insanely good pancakes will absolutely impress you! The pancakes were gone in minutes in our house, which is a proof that they are definitely impossible to resist!
We prepare pancakes in a lot of different ways, both for sweet and savoury dishes. We usually fill them with jam or chocolate spread, but sometimes we prepare a more special dish. All chocolate lovers should check out our recipe for chocolate cream pancakes.

Pancakes
This is the best and easiest recipe for pancakes. All you need to prepare are three ingredients! Yes you read that right, three ingredients that you already have at home. These are:
- flour – we used semi-white flour,
- plantbased milk – we use unsweetened almond milk, but you can also use some other and
- salt .
Just mix all of the ingredients together into a smooth mixture and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes for the flour to soak, as this will make the pancakes softer. Then bake the pancakes: pour a scoop of mixture into a hot pan greased with oil (we use coconut oil) and bake the pancakes for about half a minute on each side. In the meantime, reduce the heat by a third so that the pancakes do not burn. We baked them in a small pan and got 9 pancakes out of the mixture.
Stuffing
When you have the pancakes ready, it’s time for the best part – filling! A light filling with a hint of lemon will impress you with its taste and texture, which is similar to cottage cheese, but of course it is completely vegan. The filling is very easy to prepare, you just have to blend all of the ingredients in a blender into a smooth cream, fill pancakes with it and put them in the baking pan. We stacked the pancakes on top of each other, into three layers, and poured over the rest of the filling to make pancakes even juicier. When pancakes are baked, sprinkle them with erythritol powder or powdered sugar if desired for a nicer look and extra sweetness.
