1
Add all ingredients (ideally add liquids first) to a blender and blend until combined and smooth. Don’t over blend! Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
2
Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium and lightly grease with vegan butter or coconut oil. Ladle ~1/3 cup scoops of batter onto the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Tip: sprinkle pancakes with hemp hearts before you flip them to boost the nutrition!
3
Top with toppings of your choice. My personal favourite way to eat pancakes is with a healthy slathering of PB and berries!
4
Optional: stir in fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips to the blended batter before cooking for something extra!
5
Serve immediately with butter, almond butter or pure maple syrup, if desired.
