Why Do You Love These Blueberry Pancakes?

• This a simple recipe for any morning! Depending on the dimensions of your frying pan or griddle, they can be ready in about 25 minutes.
• They’re easy to make, have just the right amount of sugar, and are packed with juicy blueberries.
• Friendly to the freezer, so you can ready them ahead of time and have a quick, simple, and delicious breakfast whenever you like.
• Perfect for any weekday breakfast and brunch.

Ingredients

• Gluten-Free Rolled Oats: The rolled oats give these pancakes some texture as well as add some heartiness. Use only dried oats. (Gluten-free oats work best).
• Almond milk: I chose almond milk, but feel free to use your fave! Any type of plant-based milk will work.
• Maple syrup: I use pure maple syrup instead of sugar in pancake batter, and you can’t serve pancakes without syrup.
• Ripe banana: Ripe bananas are a tasty, energy-boosting fruit that is often used as a quick snack in households worldwide.
• Vanilla: Another excellent ingredient that adds amazing flavor.
• Cinnamon: It imparts a spicy, warm taste.
• Baking powder: Baking powder is what makes the batter for pancakes fluffy and light. DON’T use baking soda as a substitute.
• Salt: It gives depth and complexity to your pancakes.
• Blueberries: If you want the blueberries to retain their vibrant color and not turn the pancake mixture into a runny mush, use only fresh blueberries.
• Coconut oil: Melted coconut oil is called in the recipe, but you can also use veggie oil or butter.

How To Make Blueberry Pancakes?

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender, roll oats, almond milk, banana, maple syrup, banana, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Process until completely smooth.
2. Gently fold the blueberries in the batter if you are using fresh blueberries, if your blueberries are frozen then you will sprinkle them on top as you add the batter to the griddle.
3. Heat oil on a griddle or a large frying pan over medium heat, and add a 1/4 cup batter for each pancake on the pan.
4. Sprinkle blueberries on top if they are frozen. Cook pancakes until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

What To Serve With Your Blueberry Pancakes

If you want to make these pancakes a full meal, I recommend serving them with some plain yogurt and some fresh fruit. It gives the dish a delectable creaminess and also includes some protein to keep you satisfied all morning.

Fun Toppings for Pancakes

The possibilities are endless, my goodness! Before I go any further, let me just state how delicious these pancakes are on their own. These toppings are not necessary for them at all. We ate these with our hands, simply. They are ideal in their current state because they are fluffy, creamy, and loaded with blueberries. But you know, more is more.  Add whatever you want to these pancakes to top them off! I suggest:

• Sliced bananas
• Whipped cream
• Powdered sugar
• Slivered almonds
• Chocolate chips
• Peanut butter + honey
• Pure maple syrup
• Chopped apples or pears
• Butter
• Jam
• Nutella
• Coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

Freezer Instructions

Let the pancakes cool at room temperature on a wire rack before freezing them.

Put them in freezer containers with wax paper between the layers. Write the name and the date it should be used, and then freeze it for up to three months.

To reheat, take them out of the container and briefly reheat them in the microwave, covered with a paper towel (No need to defrost first).

They can also be reheated in the oven, though they tend to become drier. Please do not try to reheat these in a toaster; the blueberries will burn and stick, making a big mess (don’t worry; I tested this so you wouldn’t have to).

Handy Tips

• This pancake batter contains oats, so as it rests, it will become thicker. This is normal. You can add a little more almond milk if necessary, but make careful to add it gradually to avoid overdoing it.
• Make this recipe your own by experimenting with various additions, such as chocolate chips or blackberries.
• Make use of fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries can be used in a hurry, but the cooking time for the pancakes will increase significantly.
• When you pour the mixture onto the griddle, top each pancake with a handful of blueberries. By doing so, you can make sure that each pancake has the appropriate number of blueberries and that they don’t all fall to the bottom of the dish.
• Another important guideline to remember when making pancakes is not to overmix the batter. This will ensure that your pancake retains its soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Grease your grill well. A pancake that won’t flip is the worst thing that can happen. Buttering the griddle will make pancake turning easier and give the pancakes a buttery, crisp exterior.
• The first pancake you make may not turn out exactly, so don’t be startled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Oats Gluten-Free?

The claim that cereals are gluten-free is a little debatable. Many nations do not regard oats to be gluten-free.

Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they are frequently contaminated with other cereals that contain gluten.

Additionally, some individuals with celiac disease cannot eat oats, even if they are not contaminated with gluten.

Oats are usually labeled as gluten-free in the US and are generally accepted to be so. In Canada, oats can only be labeled as gluten-free if they grow and are processed in a specific manner that eliminates the possibility of contamination with gluten. They are also known as “pure oats.”

If you intend to serve oats to someone who consumes a gluten-free diet, be sure to first confirm that they can eat oats.

Are Blueberries Healthy?

Yes. Blueberries are very healthy. They’re high in plant-based antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

• Numerous studies indicate that their consumption reduces the risk of diabetes, obesity, blood pressure, heart disease, and overall mortality.
• They’re also good for skin and hair health.

How To Prevent Blueberries From Bleeding In Your Pancakes?

Frustrated that adding frozen blueberries to the batter is causing your pancakes to develop a purple-blue color? You can avoid this by simply giving the frozen strawberries several cold water rinses. When the cold water eventually clears, it’s time to add them to the pancake batter.

Which Is Better, Butter Or Oil?

To make pancakes, I prefer cooking with oil. It has a neutral taste, and a high smoke point, and needs just a thin coating to cover the pan.

Butter is significantly more delicious, but the dairy solids begin to brown as they cook. If the pancake is left unattended for an extended period of time while cooking many batches of pancakes, the cakes may develop a burned taste. If you do decide to use butter, just wipe down the pan with a paper towel between batches to ensure you’re using fresh butter.

Give these blueberry pancakes a shot. They’re incredibly delicious and super easy to make. I hope they make your breakfast quite interesting too!
