Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Oat Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Oat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Poppy Seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 piece Lemon Zest
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • Butter, Olive Oil, or Coconut Oil

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond milk, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. This step is crucial as it ensures a uniform batter.
  3. Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined; a few lumps are okay to keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in the blueberries gently. If the batter seems too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a tablespoon more of almond milk or oat flour.
  5. Lightly coat a griddle or skillet with butter or oil and place over medium heat. It’s essential to preheat your cooking surface to ensure even cooking.
  6. Once the skillet is ready, pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes, or until the edges bubble and the top looks set.
  7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
  8. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  9. Serve warm, topped with extra blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • To keep pancakes dairy free: use a dairy free yogurt and dairy free milk of choice.
  • To make your own oat flour: simply blend rolled oats in a food processor until fine.
  • For extra flavor: increase almond extract to ½ teaspoon.
  • Substitution: Feel free to replace blueberries with raspberries.
