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!

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 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!
