Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Pancakes
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 egg or flax egg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • Blueberry Compote
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. In a bowl, whisk chickpea flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. In another bowl, mix milk, egg or flax egg, maple syrup, vanilla, and oil.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until smooth. Let batter rest 5–10 minutes.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease.
  7. Pour batter into pan and cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  8. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
  9. For compote, combine blueberries, sweetener, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  10. Simmer 4–6 minutes until berries soften and mixture thickens. Stir in chia seeds if using.
  11. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and serve compote over warm pancakes.

Notes

  • Cook using moderate heat for even doneness and best texture.
  • Avoid overcooking; let food rest briefly before serving if needed.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and store airtight up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheat gently until hot throughout before serving.
