Ingredients

1 cup Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup Non-Dairy Milk or water plus more if needed
1/3 cup Almond Protein Powder
1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce or mashed bananas or pumpkin puree if preferred
1 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Salt
1 cup fresh Blueberries
Maple Syrup or preferred toppings

Instructions

Preheat a medium skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients except the blueberries. Blend until completely smooth, adding more liquid if desired for thinner pancakes.
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
Add blueberries; stir to incorporate evenly.
Use about 2 tablespoons of batter to form each pancake. Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook about 3-5 more minutes.
Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or your favorite toppings, and top with extra blueberries!
