Today I'm sharing my delicious, easy recipe for Fluffy Earl Grey Pancakes! These pancakes are infused with the flavour of earl grey tea leaves. This would be a perfect dish for breakfast or brunch!
My Fluffy Earl Grey Pancakes are also dairy-free can be made into a gluten-free recipe if you substitute the flour with oat flour of gluten free 1:1 baking flour.
I would only recommend using good quality earl grey tea leaves for this recipe or it can really alter the taste of your pancakes. You can of course use black tea leaves or Lady Grey tea leaves, which is a more subtle version of Earl Grey.

Blue Icing
- Remove coconut milk from refrigerator so it's very cold forcing the fat to separate from the liquid. Use ½ cup of the fat portion which is your coconut cream. Do not use the liquid for this.
- In a mix, using an electric mixer, mix the coconut cream, blue spirulina powder and icing sugar together. Serve over your pancakes.
