Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Healthy
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the oats become a fine flour-like consistency.
- Add almond milk, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder to the ground oats. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a consistent pancake batter.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken slightly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly spray or grease the surface with a minimal amount of cooking oil.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake. Immediately sprinkle fresh blueberries on top of the wet batter.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and repeat the process with remaining batter.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with additional fresh blueberries or a small drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh blueberries. If they’re out of season, frozen blueberries can work as well; just make sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.
- Customize Your Oats: If you prefer a coarser texture, pulse the oats less in the blender. You can also experiment with different types of oats, such as quick oats or steel-cut oats, but adjust the liquid accordingly.
- Perfect Your Pancake Flip: Wait until you see small bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake before flipping. This ensures that the pancake is set enough to hold its shape.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making multiple pancakes, keep them warm in an oven set to low heat (around 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Add Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of nuts, or a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup for extra flavor.
- Batch Cooking: Make a larger batch and freeze the extras! These pancakes freeze well, so you can enjoy a quick and healthy breakfast on busy mornings.
