Ingredients List
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener or sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Cooking spray or a small amount of butter for the pan
Optional Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute or powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons skim milk or almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sweetener. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine.
2. Fold in the blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. If you are using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
3. Heat the pan
Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
4. Cook the pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
5. Make the glaze
If using the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar substitute, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm pancakes.
6. Serve
Stack the pancakes and serve warm.
