Pancakes are such a great breakfast because they can easily feed a lot of people without a lot of work, they're super easy to make, and they are still delicious even when you make them healthy. I personally grew up on bisquick and Aunt Jemima's syrup, which I will always have a softspot for, but let's admit, we always feel super stuffed after eating pancakes and I would prefer to be super stuffed on oats and fresh strawberries than some processed cane sugar and all-purpose flour.
So, I made these! Enjoy!
Pancakes:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk (or soymilk)
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar/honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg (or egg replacer equivalent)
- 1 cup blueberries (if frozen, run under warm water until thawed)
Mix dry and wet ingredients separately. Create a well in the middle of dry ingredients and pour in wet ingredients, mix until pancake-like consistency. Gently fold in blueberries. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan on medium high heat, use about 1/4cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Strawberry Date Syrup:
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 cup dates (soaked)
1/2 cup cashews
2TBS honey
2 tbs water (or however much to get it to your favored consistency, I like it a bit thicker)
Process in a food blender until all mixed, keep adding water until desired consistency. Spread over pancakes and enjoy!
