Fluffy Blueberry-Kefir Pancakes
Description
Fluffy Blueberry-Kefir Pancakes bring together the mild nuttiness of white whole-wheat flour and the unique tang of kefir. The use of baking powder helps the pancakes rise naturally, yielding a tender, airy bite. Blueberries are gently folded into the batter so they remain intact and distribute evenly throughout. Vanessa extract enriches the flavor subtly without overpowering the fruit or kefir. Cooking on a medium griddle ensures even browning on the outside while keeping the crumb moist inside.
The pancakes are spooned out in quarter-cup portions for manageable flips and cooked until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set. This method helps keep them fluffy and prevents toughness that could come from excessive handling or pressing during cooking. Serve warm, allowing the slight tang and sweet blueberries to balance each other.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons water warm
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vanilla kefir
- 2/3 cup blueberries fresh
Instructions
- Heat your griddle up to medium heat (about 300℉) and spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate, large bowl, whisk the water, oil, and baking powder until frothy. Add the vanilla and kefir, and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, and whisk until just a few small lumps remain. Fold in the blueberries.
- Use a 1/4 cup measure to spoon batter onto the griddle. Spread the batter out slightly. If they're too large, they're hard to flip.
- Cook until the edges are set, the underside is dark brown, and bubbles form on the top, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and repeat, allowing the pancakes to rise naturally (don't press down with the spatula). Serve warm.
