Blueberry Pancakes

Blueberry Pancakes

My uncle is a blueberry farmer so I spent many summers as a child on his farm eating as many blueberries as I could get my hands on! I recall these childhood memories every time I eat this delicious fruit so I couldn’t wait to pair them with one of my all-time-favourite dishes…pancakes!

Pancakes are the ultimate ‘feel-good’ dish. These pancakes are light and fluffy, yet filling and hearty. We serve ours with maple syrup and extra blueberries on top!

Blueberry Pancakes

Makes 8 pancakes.

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup self raising whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarb of soda
pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 banana mashed
100g (3.5oz) blueberries
1 tbsp coconut oil

Serve with maple syrup

Method

1. Pour the milk and lemon juice into a small bowl, stir, and leave for 10 minutes until the consistency transforms into buttermilk.

2. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar and make a well in the centre.

3. Mash the banana well and then add to the centre of the mixing bowl.

4. Gently fold in the blueberries.

5 Heat a little coconut oil in a frying pan on a medium to high heat. Once hot, add 2 tbsp of pancake mixture for each pancake.

6. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side.

7. Serve with maple syrup or your favourite topping!

Why do you use self rising w w flour? The recipe has baking powder and baking soda in it. I make my own ground w w flour so how can I make this recipe with it?

Hi Margurete, the recipe should work OK with your homemade whole wheat flour. Let us know how it goes. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Hi,
Could you use another fruit in place of blueberries? Such as strawberries?

Thank you

How big (tiny) are those 8 pancakes?
I’m looking at the picture trying to decipher the size…
I mean how many servings is this?
