Chickpea Flour Pancakes

Yields8 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time15 mins

Super fluffy, super quick vegan blueberry orange pancakes are the perfect (secretly healthy) way to treat yourself. Plus they're high in protein and require only 6 ingredients.

Ingredients
for the pancakes...
 ½ cup (75 grams) chickpea (besan) flour
 2 tsp baking powder
 ¼ cup orange juice
 1 tbsp maple syrup
 zest of 1/2 orange
for the blueberry compote...
 1 cup frozen blueberries
 zest of 1/2 orange
 optional - maple syrup or stevia to taste
Preparation
1

First, make the blueberry compote by warming blueberries and sweetener of choice together in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through. Then set it aside while you prepare the pancakes.

2

Mix chickpea flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.

3

Add water and syrup. Mix well to combine.

4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat until it is hot enough to sizzle when water hits it but not so hot that it smokes.

5

Measure out 2 Tablespoons of dough for each pancake, and cook for approximately 3 min on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. Be sure to monitor the pancakes closely during the cooking process as they tend to burn easily. Also keep in mind that, as the skillet grows hotter, subsequent batches will burn more easily, and you may need to lift the skillet off the heat for a minute every now and then to let it cool a bit. If the skillet ever smokes, it's too hot.

6

Smoother the pancakes in blueberry compote and enjoy :)
