Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
- 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 ⅓ cups oat milk (full fat is best) 1 - 3 Tablespoons more if needed*
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest from about 1 large lemon
- ⅔ - 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg then mix in the oat milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk gently until a batter is formed, some lumps are OK! Do not over mix – it will make the pancakes tough. Add 1 - 3 Tablespoons more of oat milk if the batter is too thick.
- Gently fold in the lemon zest with a spatula.
- Heat a large pan or pancake griddle to medium heat and add a little butter. Once melted, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Arrange blueberries on top of each pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes until little bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes and the bottoms are golden brown. Gently flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
- Serve with your favorite maple syrup and enjoy!

Notes
- Oat Milk: You can use any type of milk! Try almond milk, cashew milk, 2% cow’s milk, soy milk, or skim milk.
- Unsalted Butter: You can use salted butter if needed and remove the extra salt called for in this recipe.
- Frozen Blueberries: You can use them, just don't let them thaw before adding them to the pancakes.
- Make them Dairy-Free: Substitute the butter for melted coconut oil or melted dairy-free butter.
- Storing: If you have leftovers, store these pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Make the pancakes as directed, let them cool, then loosely wrap them in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze them for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: For best results, reheat them in the microwave for 30 – 90 seconds until warm.
