Blueberry Pecan Pancake Mix Recipes

BLUEBERRY VEGAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet (preferably cast iron - see notes) on medium-low to medium heat. Using a paper towel, rub on a bit of oil. Each pancake takes about 8 minutes total to cook, so if you can only fit one pancake on your griddle, use 2 pans at once to reduce the total cooking time.
• In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, except the blueberries. Make a well in the middle and add in all the liquid ingredients. Mix with a fork until everything comes together. The batter should be mostly smooth, but a few small lumps are fine.
• When your griddle is evenly pre-heated (around 10 minutes if you are using cast iron), drop on a bit less than 1/2 cup of batter on the heated pan, and lightly spread the batter with the back of the spoon to make a round. Quickly place on about 1/4 cup of blueberries in a single layer before the batter it sets. Try not to put the blueberries on the edge of the pancakes, though some may roll to the edge as the batter settles. Drop on a bit more batter to partly cover some of the blueberries.
• Cook until the edges of the pancakes are dried and starting to brown, and the surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few blueberries have burst, about 5 minutes. You may need to adjust the heat to medium-low so the surface of the pancake does not burn. Keep in mind that these pancakes cook slow compared to other traditional pancake recipes since these are very thick and do not contain any egg. Do not rush the cooking time by turning up the heat. (See also the notes about how different materials of the griddle will affect the cooking process).
• Once the pancakes are ready, carefully flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, about 3-4 minutes more. Transfer to a cooling rack and cover loosely with aluminum foil. You may want to keep them warm in oven while you finish cooking the other pancakes.
• Continue with more oil and the remaining batter. I usually make 5-6 pancakes, depending on how large I make them. Serve with maple syrup and any other topping of choice.
