Berrylicious pancakes that are dairy free, gluten free, oil free & refined sugar free (don’t worry they’re not going to taste like cardboard ahahaha).
Basically I used my classic oat pancake recipe and added fresh blueberries ahahahaha (why change a classic?) 😜
Note that you need to use FRESH BLUEBERRIES; big & juicy ones for the best texture & flavour!
Since the fresh blueberries are warmed up during the cooking process, their juices BURST as you bite into the warm pancake MHMMMM!! 👅 💦
Enjoy with a generous serving of pure maple syrup/rice malt syrup/agave syrup (oh gosh I’m salivating again…😆 ).
Be warned, your plate will be stained purple after you polish off these pancakes! 💙 💜

Makes 1 Serving/8 Pancakes (Approx.)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free oats
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen – it doesn’t matter)
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup plant based milk
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
Method
- Pour the oats into a blender and process until it becomes a fine powder. This is oat flour.
- Slice the banana and add to the blender. Add the remaining ingredients too
- Blend until well combined. The pancake batter should be smooth but slightly thick – if it is too runny, the pancakes will not be round in shape
- Add ½ of the blueberries you have to the pancake batter and gently cover with some batter.
- Heat up a non stick pan on low-medium heat
- Once the pan is hot, pour your pancake batter into circular shapes – try to pour the blueberries in the centre of the pancake (avoid the edges basically) or use a spoon to do so.
- Turn the heat to low and place a lid over your pan
- When you see the top of the pancakes are completely or almost matte/cooked, flip them. Put the lid back on for 1 minute.
- Remove them from the pan onto a plate.
- Add the remaining blueberries when most of the first half have been used. Gently stir them through the batter.
- Repeat steps 6 – 9 until all the batter is used. Remember to clean the pan (with a paper towel or tissue) after each round as there will be blueberry residue (it will burn/blacken if not cleaned!).
- Top the pancakes with your choice of toppings/syrup/sauce.
- ENJOY!!
