Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil or light olive oil
• 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and oil. Make sure the egg is well incorporated with the liquids.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this can make the pancakes tough.

Step 4

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of avocado oil or olive oil.

Step 6

Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle for each pancake to create silver dollar-sized pancakes. You can cook several pancakes at a time depending on the size of your skillet.

Step 7

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer cooked pancakes to a platter and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve warm, topped with extra blueberries, if desired, and a drizzle of maple syrup for additional sweetness. Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
