Blueberry Pancakes for wee Eileen

There is nothing better than being able to make your grandkids (or any kids) pancakes from scratch in the morning. Knowing exactly what is in the food that you are feeding your loved ones is so very important.

This morning wee Eileen and I made plain pancakes with no sugar.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as it is as old as time for sure.

yields: 5 large pancakes

1 1/2 cups flour (today I used unbleached white flour)

2 tsp. ground cinnamon (of course this is optional but wee Eileen loves cinnamon)

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 1/2 cups oat milk (dairy milk is an option here or whatever you have in your fridge)

Whisk the wet ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix together all the dry ingredients first in another bowl and then add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until combined but do not beat. This batter will be lumpy and thick.  If too thick add a little more oat milk but do not over mix.

Heat up a frying pan or griddle first.  The pan has to be really hot to provide the correct cooking surface.

Keep the heat on medium-low heat so that the pancakes don't burn.

Spray the pan with a cooking spray first (I used today an olive oil cooking spray) to prevent the pancakes sticking to the pan.

Spoon out batter into the hot pan and allow to slightly brown until the inside is cooked. Turn over only once to cook the other side. Serve hot with jams, syrups &/or yogurt.

Enjoy!
