Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ripe bananas
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or butter (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

Step 2

Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the bananas and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

For the blueberry sauce, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 8

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes stacked with the blueberry sauce drizzled over the top. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of flaxseed, or a dollop of yogurt.
