Ingredients

  • 2 cups Self Raising Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds - whisked up with 3 tbsp water
  • 1 cup Yogurt - plain, vegan
  • cups Milk - plant-based, of your choice
  • 1 Lemon - juice and zest
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil - melted
  • 1 cup Blueberries

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk up the chia seeds with water, and leave to plump up whilst you prep the other ingredients
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, lemon zest and salt
  • In a large mixing jug, whisk together the milk, yogurt, coconut oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice and mixed up chia seeds.
  • Make a well in the middle of the flour, then pour in the wet ingredients. Mix well, then fold in the blueberries.
  • If you like, you can cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate until you need the mixture.
  • To cook the pancakes, heat some oil (I use coconut) in a skillet or frying pan, until a little pancake batter starts to sizzle and then drop in spoonfuls of the mixture.
  • Once the mixture starts to show bubbles and look dry on the top, it's ready to flip. This usually takes a minute or two, depending on how much batter you use per pancake.
  • Cook for another couple of minutes on the other side, then remove to a plate and serve!

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
