Ingredients
For Blueberry Oatmeal Protein Pancakes
- 2 cups gluten free protein oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 6 oz blueberries , wash and dry
For Greasing Pan
- 1-2 tablespoon butter or ghee
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (gluten free oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon) until all combined.
- Crack two eggs into the bowl and add milk to the bowl, and whisk both into the dry ingredients to combine. Do not over mix- it is okay to have some small lumps!
- Gently fold in washed and dried blueberries (be careful not to squish the blueberries too much!) and let batter sit for 5-10 mins to thicken.
- While the pancake patter is sitting to thicken, heat a skillet over medium heat & melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter or ghee to grease the skillet pan.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, spoon batter onto skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with real maple syrup, peanut butter, extra fresh berries, or your favorite pancake toppings.
Notes
Expert Tips & Tricks:
- Keep Warm: preheat oven to 275F and place an empty sheet pan in the oven. After cooking each pancake, place them on the tray in the oven to keep warm before serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze with parchment paper between layers.
- Texture & Color Tip: If using frozen blueberries, fold them in right before cooking and do not thaw them first otherwise they will turn your pancakes purples and the texture will be thinner.
