Another completely gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free pancake. These actually started out as pink beetroot pancakes, but taste-tests confirmed my suspicions that as beautiful as they looked, they didn’t quite make the family-friendly mark. It was actually one of the children that suggested using berries as an alternative, so I tried them with cherries, and they were an instant win. Raspberries will give a more pink pancake, but we quite liked the pinky-purple colour that the cherries made. Why not experiment with your favourite berry taste/colour combination? Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries would all work, simply change with the seasons!
For those interested in the beetroot version, please see the Recipe Notes section below.

- Mix the ground flax seed with the warm water and leave for 5 minutes to thicken. alternatively, if you are able to tolerate eggs, leave out this stage, and lightly whisk the egg in a bowl.
- Blend the apple juice and cherries together, add to the flax seed mixture or egg, and then whisk in the flour and baking powder.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan (ideally with a lid) over a medium-low heat, and ensure the melted oil is spread over the base of the pan.
- Add spoonfuls to the pan to make your pancakes. Cover, and leave until risen and the edges are looking dried. Turn over and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Serve immediately with more berries, a sprinkle of icing sugar and maple syrup if you like it sweet.
- Can be reheated in the toaster for a snack.
For the beetroot version shown below, simply replace the 75g of cherries with 75g of cooked beetroot.
