Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes combine oat flour, Greek yogurt, and fresh blueberries for a tender and mildly sweet breakfast treat. The batter includes lemon zest and cinnamon, adding a subtle citrus and warm spice note. Cooking on a buttered skillet creates golden pancakes with soft centers speckled by juicy blueberries. These pancakes work well with syrup and additional fresh fruit for a wholesome start to your day.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk if needed
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons butter for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
- Mix sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until thoroughly combined with no lumps.
- If the batter is too thick, add milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Preheat an electric grill to 350 degrees F, or place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the butter and melt it by moving it around to coat the cooking surface thoroughly.
- Pour ¼ cup portions of pancake batter, add 4-5 blueberries to each pancake, and cook until bubbles start forming and the sides become set, about 2-4 minutes.
- Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes on the other side or until golden brown.
- Serve with syrup and fresh fruit.
Notes
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking to improve texture by allowing the oat flour to absorb the liquids.
- Mix ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light and tender.
- Watch the batter consistency; it should be lumpy and thick enough to drop from a spoon without running.
- Flip pancakes only when bubbles form on top and edges look set to ensure proper cooking and fluffiness.
- Use enough butter or oil in the pan to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Use one egg per cup of flour for best height and texture; this recipe uses two eggs for a bit more structure.
