Gluten-Free Blueberry Pancakes Recipe

When we think about the ultimate brunch recipe, we think about golden pancakes drizzled with maple syrup. So delicious!

To give a twist to the good old recipe, we came up with gluten-free buckwheat and oatmeal blueberry pancakes. If gluten free wasn't awesome enough, we made them dairy-free too by replacing plain milk with almond milk.

Both buckwheat and oat are nutritious gluten-free alternatives to standard white flour. In fact:

  • Buckwheat is higher in vitamins, minerals, and proteins compared to white flour.

  • Rolled oat is rich in cholesterol-lowering fibres and adds a rich nutty flavour.

  • Both buckwheat and oat have a low glycemic index, meaning they provide a slow source of carbohydrates, helping you to feel satiated for longer.

Topped with maple syrup and fresh blueberries, our pancakes make a satisfying meal that is low in calories and low in fats. In fact, an abundant portion only has 250 kcal and only 1 gram of saturated fats!

step 2

Fold the whipped egg whites into the prepared batter.

Incorporate the eggs with a gentle circular motion to keep the pancake mixture airy and fluffy.

step 3

Now, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour one ladle of the buckwheat pancake mix.

If needed, shake the pan to ensure the pancake has a round shape.

Then, sprinkle the uncooked side with blueberries and cook for 3-4 minutes or until you see tiny bubbles in the batter (1).

Loosen the edges with the help of a spatula and flip the pancake. Cook it for further 2 minutes or until both side are golden brown (2).

Repeat the steps above until you have used all the batter.

Tips

  • To check if the whipped egg whites have the right consistency, tilt the bowl and if they stay put and firm, they are ready to use.

  • For vegan and egg-free pancakes, replace each egg with 1 tbsp of chia seeds (soaked in 3 tbsp of water) and 10g of coconut oil/vegetable oil.

  • If you can't get buckwheat flour, replace it with oat flour in the same amount. Also, as alternative gluten-free flours, you can use almond or coconut flour.
