Blueberry pancakes

Dessert - Blueberry pancakes by Natasa F. - Recipia

Blueberry pancakes get their sweetness from very ripe bananas, which mash quickly; they have soft centers and brown around the edges. Eggs and flour hold the batter together, and the blueberries are optional; a little honey gives them a sweet finish when served. I make them a little smaller than a full ladleful because they’re easier to flip. Prep: 5 minutes. Cook: 18-30 minutes. Total: 23-35 minutes. Servings: 6. About 100 kcal and 3 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 very ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter (2.5 g)
  • 150 g blueberries
  • 30 g honey

Preparation

1. Peel the banana and put it in a blender with the eggs. Blend on high speed until smooth. 2. Add the flour and whisk it in until no lumps remain. 3. Heat a nonstick pan and grease it with butter. Pour about 2/3 of a ladleful of batter for each pancake, then top with 3-4 blueberries. 4. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until little holes appear and it’s browned. Flip it and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until browned on the other side too. 5. Serve them with honey and the fresh blueberries set aside.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, replace the 4 tablespoons of flour with 4 tablespoons of gluten-free baking mix; the eggs and butter stay in, so the dish contains eggs and dairy. The blender turns the banana and eggs into a smooth mixture, and a very ripe banana mashes easily. If the banana is large, the batter may be softer and the pancakes may spread more in the pan. Large blueberries can be cut in half before you put them on the batter. Thicker pancakes need the longer cooking time, while smaller ones flip sooner. Don’t rush the flip: wait for the little holes to appear and the edges to set. Store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I serve them with plain yogurt on the side, especially when I drizzle honey over them.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes. Thaw 150 g completely and pat them dry before using, so they don’t release water onto the batter.

What should I do if the batter spreads too much?

Whisk in another 1 tablespoon of flour and try one pancake; the batter should fall from the ladle in a thick ribbon.

Why do they break when I flip them?

Let the first side brown until the edges have set, then flip the pancake with a wide spatula.
