From The Young Forever Cookbook
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond milk
- 2 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cup Himalayan Tartary buckwheat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 2 large pasture-raised organic eggs
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Grass-fed unsalted butter for cooking
- 0.25 cup coconut or dairy-free yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
- For the pancake batter: In a large measuring cup, combine 1 cup of the almond milk and lemon juice. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the eggs, almond milk mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk together until all the ingredients are incorporated, adding up to ½ cup additional almond milk if the batter is too thick. Be careful not to overbeat; a few lumps are fine.
- To make the compote: Place all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture has thickened. Gently mash the berries with a fork and set aside until you're ready to serve.
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add some butter to the pan. Working in batches and using a measuring cup, ladle ¼ cup of the batter into the pan, forming one or two pancakes and leaving an inch between them. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until small bubbles begin to form on the surface, then flip and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the pancakes to the wire rack in the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven as you cook the remaining pancakes.
- To serve, stack a few pancakes on a plate and top with a heaping spoonful of the berry compote and a dollop of yogurt.
