Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 10

Servings: servings

Ingredients

1 cup (80 g) oats
½ cup (65 g) plain flour
1 tsp (1 tsp) baking powder
1 tbsp (1 tbsp) sugar
1 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil
1 tsp (1 tsp) vinegar
¾ cup (180 g) water
¾ cup (110 g) blueberries

Sauce:

½ cup (75 g) blueberries
4 tsp (4 tsp) agave syrup
2 tsp (2 tsp) water

Instructions

Pancakes

Grind the oats into flour by pulsing in a food processor or blender until fine.
Combine the oats, flour, baking powder and sugar.
Briefly mix the water, oil and vinegar together and then pour it into the oat mix.
Mix into a thick, smooth batter and then add the washed blueberries and stir.
Heat up a non stick pan or cast iron skillet with a small amount of oil to season it. When hot, add spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and continue to cook on medium/high heat.
When bubbles start to appear on the top and the base is starting to brown, flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or so, until fully cooked.
Tip: The batter will get thicker as the oats absorb liquid whilst the batter stands. If you don't use the all the batter in the first batch, add a bit more water to loosen it up again.

Sauce

Wash the berries and then puree in a blender with the agave syrup.
If necessary, add a splash of water to give the sauce a good pouring consistency.

Notes

Gluten Free

To make these blueberry oat pancakes gluten free, use gluten free certified oats and replace the ½ cup flour with a gluten free flour mix or chickpea flour. You can also use an extra ½ cup of oat flour, but the texture is not quite so fluffy.

Refined Sugar Free

Replace the sugar in the batter with agave syrup, coconut sugar or leave it out.

Berry Sauce

We used wild blueberries for the berry sauce. You can use normal blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries... or a mixture of whatever you fancy. Adjust the level of syrup according to the sweetness of the berries you use. If necessary, add enough water so it has an easy pouring consisitency.
