Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 1.25 cups Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground flaxseeds. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar, allowing it to sit for a minute to curdle slightly. This will create a homemade buttermilk substitute.
Add the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix the batter; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Fold in the blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with olive oil or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, optionally drizzled with a small amount of honey or maple syrup and a handful of extra blueberries.
