Lemon and poppy seeds wholemeal pancakes...

In my kitchen cabinet stuck a bag of poppy seeds which was lying there for ages...From time to time  I look for some ideas of its use. I found a wonderful recipe (click here) for lemon pancake with poppy seeds. I swapped some ingredients, some ignored for obtaining healthier version. Pancakes are fluffy with lemon aroma and flavored by roasted poppy seeds and haven't  not lose anything on the taste ...

Flip the pancakes to the other side when bubbles appear on its top layer.
