This morning I got up bright and early to make fresh muffins. Unfortunately, the recipe went terribly wrong and I found myself with a giant bowl of blueberry oatmeal liquid. After a much needed cup of coffee I decided I would try to make pancakes. Lucky for me, they worked! They were a tad fluffy but I have since altered the recipe so they should be perfect. I topped them off with some real peanut butter and I've been in a good mood ever since!
There's something about breakfast that when it's done well, it always makes for a great day! I am a huge fan of waking up early just to make breakfast muffins, oatmeal or banana bread; that's not to say I do it often, but I'm still a huge fan! I love when the apartment smells like fresh baking and it really only takes about 30 mins; granted sometimes 30 mins seems like too much time for us sleep deprived students!
So here is the recipe for blueberry pancakes:
ingredients:
- 2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup of flax seeds (whole)
- 1/2 cup of wheat germ (not necessary but a nice touch)
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 tbsp baking power
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1-2 cups of Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry into another. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry bowl. It'll seem really runny but if you keep stirring it for 30 secs then the baking powder will kick in. Add the blueberries.
Preheat the pan with a bit of oil or vegan margarine. Cook the batter like any old pancakes. They should only take a few minutes. Serve with your choice of peanut butter or maple syrup. Enjoy with a lovely cup of coffee and sliced bananas....yum!
