Ingredients
BLUEBERRIES:
- 1/2 cup dried blueberries
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 tsp vanilla
PANCAKE BATTER:
- 1/4 cup oil vegetable or canola
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup gluten-free flour with xanthan gum
- 1/3 cup oat flour milled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk or milk substitute
- drained blueberries listed above
Method
Rehydrating Dried Blueberries:
- Place blueberries in a cup. Add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/4 cup hot water. Water should cover or almost cover dried blueberries. Let soak for 1-12 hours. The longer they soak the more the blueberries will absorb. *I like to prep the blueberries the night before. This way they are ready for me when I make pancakes in the morning. Before adding to pancake batter, drain any excess liquid.
PANCAKE BATTER:
- In a medium mixing bowl, add oil, sugar, vanilla, egg, lemon juice and zest. Blend until mixture turns light yellow.
- Add GF flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix only until dry ingredients are wettened. Add milk, mix until blended.
- Fold in well-drained blueberries. The more the batter is mixed, the more it will change color to purple/blue from the berry juice.
- Using a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat, add a small amount of fat (butter, oil, pan spray) to the pan. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles begin to form and bottom starts to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook additional 1-2 minutes until pancake begins to brown. Both sides should be light to medium brown and cooked all the way through.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, blueberry sauce, lemon syrup, etc.


Notes
Do you have extra pancakes? Store leftovers in a ziploc bag in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat and enjoy.
