Ingredients

Servings
  • For the dry ingredients:
  • 1 cup oat flour plus 1 tablespoon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • For the wet ingredients:
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt vanilla, or dairy-free yogurt (e.g. Siggi’s plant based yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • lemon zest from 1
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ¼ cup almond milk unsweetened, vanilla, plus more if needed
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • For the mix-in:
  • 2/3 cup blueberries fresh, plus extra for serving
  • For cooking:
  • butter or olive oil or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour (1 cup + 1 tablespoon), baking powder, poppyseeds and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together yogurt, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond milk, coconut sugar, vanilla and almond extract until well combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined; gently stir in blueberries, if using. If the batter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk; if the batter is too thin, add 1 tablespoon more oat flour. (Based on the yogurt brand you use the batter thickness may very slightly.)
  4. Lightly coat a griddle with butter and place over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-4 minutes until the pancakes puff up and you see bubbles along the edges. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside. If you find that pancakes are browning too quickly then you need to lower the heat a bit. I normally start on medium heat, then decrease to medium low later so that my pancakes don't burn.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with more butter or oil and remaining batter. Makes 8 large pancakes total. Serve with maple syrup and extra blueberries on top.

Notes

  • To keep pancakes dairy free: use a dairy free yogurt and dairy free milk of choice. Be sure to cook the pancakes in oil or vegan butter.
  • *To make your own oat flour: you can easily make your own flour right at home using rolled oats! Get all of my tips & tricks here and add your oat flour right into this pancake recipe.
  • For an extra little bit of joy, increase the almond extract to ½ teaspoon. It makes these pancakes amazing, trust me! Especially if you love almond flavor.
  • Feel free to sub raspberries for the blueberries.
