Saturday the weather was slightly cool but the sun was beaming with pride outside. So, as to not shame the sun for its hard work, the husband and I decided that we would make homemade blueberry pancakes. We have tons of blueberries from Michigan so why not, right?
Blueberry Pancakes Serves 4 Hungry People 1c whole wheat flour 1c white flour 3 tbsp sugar 3 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon, ground 2 tsp vanilla extract, optional 1 tsp almond extract, optional 2c vanilla unsweetened almond milk 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1c frozen Michigan blueberriesCombine all the ingredients together in a large bowl, minus the blueberries. When the consistency is all smooth but on the side of vegan milkshake thickness, fold in the blueberries. Make the blueberry pancakes as normal. These do puff up quite a bit so please make sure you leave enough room for them to grow on the griddle.
Note: The husband devoured these with a little vegan butter and maple syrup but I had mine plain. They are very tasty either way. Such few ingredients but it’s like eating fluffy blueberry clouds, if there were such a thing. Then to add Traverse City Fudge Coffee, it was like going to heaven and back. Mmmm

Yum…blueberry pancakes…I’d make them with buckwheat flour.

Yes, you can make them with just about any flour. I’m not a fan of the nutty flavor to buckwheat but I bet it would be great! Let me know if it works out.

Looks very yummy!
Will probably make these next weekend… but use applesauce or mashed ripe banana for the oil.
Thanks!! : )

haha Yes applesauce would be good however extra virgin olive oil is small amounts is good fat. I don’t cook with oil so I enjoy putting a small amount in various times to assure my hair, nails and skin look as beautiful as I feel on the inside. 🙂 I’m not sure if banana would work in exchange for this one since the sweet flavor would take over the blueberries. Blueberries have a great sweet taste but they aren’t as strong as bananas. If you try it out, let me know how you like it. Thanks.
