Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil or light olive oil
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and oil. Make sure the egg is well incorporated with the liquids.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this can make the pancakes tough.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of avocado oil or olive oil.
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle for each pancake to create silver dollar-sized pancakes. You can cook several pancakes at a time depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a platter and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm, topped with extra blueberries, if desired, and a drizzle of maple syrup for additional sweetness. Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
