Healthy Vegan Meals: Sleepy Blueberry Pancakes

 Hello. I love pancakes! Ever since I can remember they have been a big part of breakfast. Though since I have decided to be a vegan, pancakes have kind of been out of my mind because of the use of eggs. Though I found this is not necessary. I read other peoples recipes and found that many peoples have been making pancakes without the dairy and eggs very often. Pancakes are a fave of mine. Though my pancakes may still be more comparable to that of the "Galloping Gourmet", I am getting more improved at the art of making pancakes! :)

Vegan Sleepy Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup soy milk
2 tbsp of olive oil
1/2 cup of blueberries

 In a large mixing bowl, sift in the flour. Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl. Then add the wet ingredients into the bowl, and start to whisk the ingredients together until it is mixed. This is a crucial aspect of pancake making. With the whisker in the batter, lift it out to see it's consistency. I like to have it on the more non-viscous side, that way the batter can cook more thoroughly. Add the blueberries and gently fold them in (blueberries are a super fud high in antioxidants). Make sure the skillet is hot and oiled before the batter is poured onto it. I put the heat on medium/ high. Slowly pour the batter onto the skillet. One should see bubbles appear right away. That lets one know that that heat is on high enough and that the batter is of a good consistency. Let cook for about 1 and a half minutes, then flip them over to cook on the other side. The first side tends to be more presentable then the other. I put this side up and stack the pancakes. I used maple syrup and topped with confectioners sugar! :) Good luck and have fun making your scrumptious pancakes! :)

Thank you very much! :)
