Gluten-free Cardamom pancakes with summer berries | v + gf 

I don’t know about you, but I am so done with winter now. It has been cold for months and I just want to get rid of my winter coat and boots and start using my Converse again. I’m dreaming of cherry blossoms, green leaves, and sunshine. I think that my dreams of spring also influences my cooking these days, I can’t get enough of berries, simple salads and summer cakes.

Last week was crazy busy for me, but I managed to squeeze in a photo shoot by the end of the week. I had been craving pancakes for weeks so I knew exactly what I wanted to cook and photograph – cardamom pancakes with summer berries. Quite

I’ve always loved cardamom. I always prefer cardamom buns over cinnamon buns and I love to add it to bread, cakes and other baked goods. And to my lattes of course. Matcha latte and golden mylk taste so much better with a little (ehm, a lot…) cardamom in it. And so does pancakes. Since I dream so much about spring and summer these days, I decided to go for a summer topping – blueberries and blackberries. I think they make the perfect berry couple and they are also the perfect pancake topping. I hope you’ll enjoy the recipe as much as I do!
