These American fluffy pancakes are the ultimate weekend breakfast and take no time at all to make. They're thick and fluffy, and taste delicious with the fresh blueberries added into the pancake mix. We love to enjoy these topped with another handful of fresh blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Ingredients:

    ingredients
  • 350g self-raising flour

  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds

  • 400ml almond milk

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

    melted (+ more for cooking

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

    (+ more for serving)

  • handful of blueberries

Method:

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour and chia seeds until there are no lumps. Pour in the almond milk, melted coconut oil and maple syrup; mix well until a smooth batter forms. Set the batter aside for 4–5 minutes to thicken a little.
  2. 2

    Once the mixture feels thick enough to hold its shape when cooking, warm some coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
  3. 3

    Once the coconut oil has melted, add a large spoonful of batter to the pan, moving the pan around (if needed) to make a pancake shape.
  4. 4

    As the pancake begins to set, sprinkle some fresh blueberries on top and cook for 3–5 minutes, until the bottom feels cooked.
  5. 5

    Once cooked on one side, flip over and cook on the other side until the cooked through. The time will depend on the size and thickness of the pancake but usually takes around 5 minutes.

Ella’s Tips

If the pancake batter becomes too thick, simply mix through a dash more almond milk.
