Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Skillet
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Coconut oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by combining the almond milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let this mixture sit for about five minutes to create a dairy-free “buttermilk.”
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, honey, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Crack the egg into the dry ingredients and then add the almond milk mixture and melted butter. Stir everything together gently until just combined.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, use a small amount of coconut oil or butter to lightly grease the pan.
- Pour approximately one-third cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Drop a handful of blueberries onto each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form and the edges appear set, about two to three minutes. Flip and cook for an additional one to two minutes.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with a drizzle of honey, pure maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Storage: Allow any leftovers to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to three days.
- Freezing: These pancakes freeze beautifully. Just stack them between sheets of parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container.
- Pairing: They’re fantastic with a side of Greek yogurt.
- Serving suggestion: Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for presentation.
- Variations: Try adding chocolate chips or other fruits to customize your pancakes!
