Farzannah loves these blueberry pancakes for more than just their taste. Studies suggest blueberries can boost kids' reaction times and even help adults stay sharp, making them a valuable addition to any diet.
Fuelled by gut-friendly goodness! Farzannah didn't stop at blueberries. Committed to overall health, she's also incorporated flaxseeds and almonds into the recipe. Flaxseeds are loaded with gut-friendly fibre, while almonds add healthy fats. Together, they promote a happy gut and balanced blood sugar levels – perfect for the whole family! Let's get cooking these blueberry pancakes!
Blueberry Pancake Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup of Ground Almonds
- 1/2 Cup of Self-raising flour ( I used Gluten-free)
- 1 Table Spoon of Ground Flaxseeds
- 1 Tea Spoon of Baking Powder
- 1 Cup of Plant milk
- 2 Tablespoons Kefir (optional. I added it because I had it)
- 1 Punnet of Blueberries (mine was 150g)
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon of Extra - Virgin olive oil
- If you have vanilla you can add that too
Directions for Cooking These Blueberry Pancakes
Step 1
Start by mixing the dry ingredients for the blueberry pancakes in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
Step 2
Gently add the blueberries to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed for the best blueberry pancakes!
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, pour the blueberry pancake batter onto the pan using a measuring cup or spoon to ensure uniform size.
Step 4
As the blueberry pancakes cook, bubbles will appear on the surface. Once the edges begin to set and the bubbles start to burst, it's time to flip.
Step 5
Carefully flip the blueberry pancakes and cook for an additional minute or until golden brown and cooked through.
Tip: If the blueberry pancake batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it slightly. Conversely, if the batter is too thin, add a bit more ground flaxseed for thickening.
Serve your blueberry pancakes with a dollop of yoghurt and some maple syrup or any other toppings of your choosing!
