Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups 190g all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 cup 150g blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups 300 ml unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional

Method
 

  1. Prep: In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. Set aside.
  2. Make "Buttermilk": In a medium bowl, stir together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Mix Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 ½ cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet: To the "buttermilk," whisk in the oil, vanilla, and optional lemon zest.
  5. Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula just until combined. Let the lumpy batter rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the rested batter.
  7. Cook: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges are dry. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh berries.
