Ingredients
Ingredients
whole wheat flour
1 cup (measured)
baking powder
3 teaspoons (measured)
cinnamon
1 teaspoon (measured)
soymilk
1 cup (measured)
blueberries
1/3 cup (washed and drained)
Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk together until well blended.
2
Gradually add the soymilk to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3
Fold in the blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. If the mixture seems too thick or too runny, adjust the consistency by adding more soymilk or flour as needed to achieve a fluffy pancake batter.
4
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly greased pans are optional if using a quality non-stick surface.
5
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until the edges begin to lift and small bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes.
6
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is a light golden brown and cooked through.
7
Check doneness by gently inserting a toothpick or knife into the center of a pancake; it should come out clean. Serve immediately while warm, topped with maple syrup and your favorite accompaniments. Enjoy!
