In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries and 1/4 cup of maple syrup over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the blueberries have released their juices and soften. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg, remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon coconut oil until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add spoonfuls of the pancake batter to the skillet, cooking until golden brown on each side. This should make about 4-6 small pancakes. Set aside and allow to cool, then chop into small pieces.
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, cooled blueberry syrup, the remaining 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped pancake pieces to mix them through the ice cream.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
