This oatmeal blueberry pancakes recipe is quickly becoming a family favorite and is a result of several mishaps in the kitchen. Over the last two years, I have attempted to make what I would consider “healthy pancakes” to no avail. I used a few prepackaged whole wheat mixes and played around with a couple of oatmeal recipes, all resulting in a gigantic blob of batter or the final result tasting like a spoonful of cornmeal.
This oatmeal blueberry pancakes recipe has very few ingredients, some of which are optional, making it simple and easy for newly aspiring chefs.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 to 1 1/2 cup Spelt Flour
- 6 to 9 Tbls. Rolled Oats
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 3 tsp. Stevia
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups Almond Milk
- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Blueberries (or chocolate chips)
- 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt – optional
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon – optional
Ingredient Notes:
- I bought a spelt flour brand that I absolutely love, Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grain Spelt Flour.
- The original recipe calls for cinnamon, but I felt the stevia, cinnamon, and vanilla extract was a little overpowering.
- Instead of using whole blueberries, I use a delicious Blueberry Compote. The directions for blueberry compote are located after the directions for the oatmeal pancakes.
Directions:
- In a medium glass bowl combine spelt flour, rolled oats baking powder, and stevia; mix well.
- In a separate bowl whish almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Add liquid mixture to dry mixture to form a batter.
- Lightly coat a skillet with your choice of oil to prevent sticking and turn to medium-high heat. Let skillet warm for 4 to 5 minutes.
- After the pan is hot drip batter to form pancakes. This recipe creates 3 to 4 pancakes.
Blueberry Compote:
- 3 cups of fresh blueberries, 1 cup Simply Orange Juice, 3/4 cup raw honey, 1 Tbls. Ghee, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Bring to a rolling boil on top of the stove and then decrease temperature to low. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes or desired thickness. Serve warm!
I hope you all enjoy making these oatmeal blueberry pancakes and I would love to hear how they taste. If you make any modifications that make it more appetizing for you I would enjoy hearing your suggestions.
Happy Cooking, Mrs. B
