Instructions
Making Blueberry Flax Pancakes is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for perfect results:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Fold in Blueberries: Add the blueberries to the batter, gently folding them in to avoid smashing them.
5. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
6. Pour Batter: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Keep Warm: Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate while you cook the remaining batter.
9. Serve: Top with maple syrup, yogurt, or additional blueberries for a delightful finish.
