This is our favourite recipe for HOLOS blueberry-chai protein pancakes! These are quick and easy to make (including an incredible blueberry-ginger sauce), packed with protein and good-for-you ingredients, and just the right blend of sweet and spice. (Psst- in this video we use an egg, but if you want to use all plant based ingredients, just swap for a vegan flax alternative).
RECIPE:
- 1 HOLOS Chai (any flavour works)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup oat flour (*if you don’t have oat flour, simply fine grind 0.5 cup of oats)
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 1.5 cup milk of choice
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 medium egg (or vegan flax alternative)
- 3 Tbsp. coconut oil or butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Sauce (optional):
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
Steps:
For the pancakes:
In a large mixing bowl add dry ingredients and whisk. Add the wet one at a time, stirring while you go until the dry ingredients are incorporated and everything is thoroughly mixed. Preheat large nonstick pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Use ladle to add batter to pan. Place approximately 5 fresh blueberries on each pancake. Once bubbles start to form, flip and cook for another minute or two. Repeat until all the batter is gone. Drizzle the chia ginger blueberry sauce on top of your freshly made pancakes (optional).
For the sauce (optional):
In small sauce pan add maple syrup and blueberries and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for several minutes as berries start to thaw. Once berries are soft, add in ground ginger and stir. Finally, add in chia seeds and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside to thicken.
ENJOY! #shorts
