Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cupsall-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoonscane sugar
  • 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoonbaking soda
  • 1/2 teaspooncinnamon
  • Heaping 1/4 teaspoonsea salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cupplus 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cupplain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoonsavocado oil or melted butter plus more for brushing
  • 1 1/2 teaspoonsvanilla extract
  • 2 cupsblueberries fresh or thawed frozen*
  • Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons milk, Greek yogurt, avocado oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined; a few small lumps are fine—do not overmix.
  • If using fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, gently fold the 2 cups of blueberries into the batter. If your blueberries are still frozen, do not fold them in; you will add them to the pancakes while cooking.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush it lightly with additional avocado oil or melted butter.
  • Use a 1/3-cup scoop to pour batter into the skillet for each pancake. If using still-frozen blueberries, evenly scatter the berries onto each pancake immediately after pouring the batter.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the pancakes are puffed and golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the skillet with more oil or butter as needed. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

Notes
*Fresh and frozen berries are both great here, but you'll add them to the batter at different times. Fold fresh blueberries into the batter before pouring. Scatter frozen berries over the pancakes immediately after pouring the batter. See the FAQ section above for more info!
To make these vegan:
Replace the egg with a flax egg: In a small bowl mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken before incorporating into the recipe.
Use your favorite non-dairy milk, and replace the yogurt with ½ cup mashed banana.
