25 Minute Recipe
DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 c. whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 c. quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 c. fresh blueberries
- 1/2 c. fresh raspberries or strawberries
- 1/4 c. coconut flakes
WET INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 c. coconut oil
- 1/4 c. water
- 2 c. non-dairy milk (we like it with almond)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup plus more for topping.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix together all the dry ingredients, excluding the fruit and coconut flakes.
- In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients. Add fruit and coconut.
- Stir wet mixture in with the dry ingredients and gently stir until batter forms. Let the batter sit for 5 - 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Over medium heat, pour pancake batter into a greased pan (use coconut oil for added flavor). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until batter hardens. Flip and repeat on opposite side.
- Serve with maple syrup and any other pancake toppings you like. For extra patriotic pancakes, cut into the shape of stars.
