You know I can’t go more than a few weeks without sharing a lavender recipe. Recently, I’ve had a few people tell me that they think lavender-flavored anything tastes like soap. Do you feel that way? Please say no. I do think that lavender is kind of like cilantro though, where half of the people who eat it think it tastes amazing and flavorful and adds the perfect touch to dishes, while the other half think it tastes like soap. 

Yes, lavender is basically just like cilantro in that regard. But what about when it’s paired with espresso? Eh?! Do we love it? I think/hope we do, ‘cause that’s what we’ve got going on today.

I’m basically always trying to add lavender and espresso to all my recipes whenever possible. Example A) lavender cake, and example B) espresso cupcakes. You just can’t go wrong, and both flavors are very breakfast-y if you ask me. Or dessert-y, but today we’re going with breakfast. These espresso pancakes can be made with espresso powder or instant coffee, whichever one you have on hand and/or is easier for you to acquire. 

And if we’re getting technical, these are actually espresso pancakes with a lavender glaze. Mhmmmm. To make the glaze, you’ll whip up a simple lavender syrup—think lavender, sugar and water—and then combine that with powdered sugar. …..and then you’ll want to put it on everything! Like ALL THE DESSERTS.

Note: though I topped these pancakes with dried lavender in the photos, I don’t recommend actually doing this! It looks nice, but eating straight lavender is the opposite of nice. Just saying.

Also, don’t forget the maple syrup! The only thing better than lavender+espresso is lavender, espresso and maple syrup.

Ingredients

for the pancakes:

  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp cane sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp espresso powder or instant coffee
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 egg

for the glaze:

  • 3 tbsp lavender syrup
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

for the lavender syrup:

  • 1 tbsp culinary lavender
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Start by making the lavender syrup. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil; then, reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool before using.
  • Next, create the glaze: whisk syrup and sugar together until smooth; set aside.
  • For the pancakes: add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Grease a nonstick skillet with coconut oil or nonstick spray, then pour a little bit of the pancake batter into the skillet. Wait until batter bubbles, then carefully flip over and cook the other side. Repeat this process until all the batter is gone.
  • To serve: place pancakes on a plate then drizzle with the lavender glaze. Top with maple syrup if desired.
  • Enjoy!

  • HI! I feel like it’s been a minute and I want to chat HEALTH. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the last couple months, I’ve been feeling kind of off. My migraines are becoming more frequent (again), and I’ve been experiencing almost daily nausea for two months. As 2019 comes to an end, I must say there are a couple things I’ve learned. 1) Every BODY is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. This is something I’ve always known, but I kind of forgot to remind myself of it throughout the year. 2) LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. We all have gut instincts on what to do when something seems “off”. If you’re me, you tend to quiet that voice (bc HIIII I’m super stubborn), but don’t! I knew months ago that I should seek the help of a functional medicine doctor to try to get to the root cause, but waited until a couple weeks ago to actually go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to talk about this awhile ago, but kept telling myself it wasn’t important and that so many people have it worse. And, I didn’t and still don’t want to sound complain-y. But, the truth is, we all have SOMETHING and though I don’t have it all figured out quite yet, I’m hopeful that 2020 will be the year I truly heal my migraines/joint pain/nausea 🤞🏻 If you’ve also been feeling off recently, just know that I’m right there with you. *more in my stories*
