Ingredients

  • 2 cups spelt flour
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons ground flaxseed (also sometimes labeled “flax meal”)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ cups unsweetened almond or other plant-based milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries

Directions

  1. Whisk the flours, baking powder, flax meal and salt together in a large bowl. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened: it will seem very thin, but it will thicken.
  2. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes (spelt flour takes a little longer to absorb the liquids). If you don’t wait, your pancakes won’t be as crisp!
  3. After the batter has rested, fold in the blueberries. Heat a dry, nonstick skillet (ceramic-coated skillets work especially well) until a drop of water dances on its surface. Ladle a large scoop of batter into the pan. Several pancakes can be cooked at once if you’re using a large skillet.
  4. Cook until the batter begins to bubble and the bottom of the pancake is golden. Flip and cook on the other side until both sides are golden.
