Instructions

1. 1

   --- TO MAKE THE PANCAKES: ---

2. 2

   In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, arrowroot, cinnamon, nutmeg, chia seeds, and salt together and whisk until combined.

3. 3

   Make a small well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add in the milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil, stirring gently (using a spatula) until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX! NOTE: If the batter is way too thick and hard to stir, add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time until more smooth, yet still thick enough.

4. 4

   Fold in the blueberries until incorporated.

5. 5

   Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to a heated skillet over medium-high heat and wait until fully melted. Pour ½ cup of pancake batter unto the surface of the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes (until batter begins to bubble) and gently flip pancake to it’s opposite side, cooking another 1-2 minutes. NOTE: Be sure to gently press down on pancake to ensure that center cooks through. Also SEE FAQ SECTION for tips on when to best flip your pancakes.

6. 6

   Once cooked and lightly brown on both sides, remove pancake from heat and repeat steps until all batter is used.

7. 7

   To serve, stack pancakes onto one another and top with your favorite topping(s): fresh blueberries, granola, whipped cream, banana slices, chia seeds, and lightly drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
