Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (option for gluten-free)
2 tbsp granulated sugar (sub 1/2 tsp cinnamon or sweetener of choice)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2-1 tbsp lemon zest
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1-2 tbsp unsalted butter, for cooking
1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions (yields 8 pancakes):
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest together in a bowl until well combined.
Whisk the egg and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until well combined. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients until incorporated; the batter should be lumpy.
Add the milk and mix until the batter is smooth. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened.
Butter a griddle over medium-low heat.
Scoop 2 tbsp to 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form (~3-4 minutes), then flip. Cook until browned on the other side (~2-3 minutes).
Serve hot and top with maple syrup, yogurt, and berries.
