The Recipe

Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Pancakes (Vegan!)

Makes 10, 4” pancakes

Ingredients

Dry

1 cup brown rice flour
¾ cup blanched almond flour – make sure it says “blanched”
¼ cup tapioca starch
2 Tbs coconut sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp Himalayan salt
1.5 tsp lemon zest – optional for a lemon blueberry flavor

Wet

1 cup almond milk – unsweetened – we used fresh
1/8 cup Dastony whole coconut butter – gently melted
1/8 cup coconut oil – gently melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pure water – start with ½ cup and add up to 1 cup until you reach the right consistency – we used 1 full cup in the end

½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Toppings: grade B maple syrup, Rawmio Almond Silk or Hazelnut Silk, coconut cream, fresh berries or fruit of choice, chia or hemp seeds.

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl
2. Mix almond milk,vanilla, and ½ cup water together in a separate bowl – then combine with dry ingredients
3. Mix in melted coconut oil and coconut butters. Mix gently but thoroughly. Stir in remaining water and add your blueberries. Stir gently again.
4. Heat a pan or skillet on medium high heat with a small amount of coconut oil added to the pan to keep your pancakes from sticking and falling apart. (very important step!)
5. Cook each pancake until bubbles form in the middle and the edges start to look a little crispy. Flip carefully (vegan pancakes are more delicate because of the lack of egg!) and then cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until done. Serve warm with all the toppings and bliss out!
