Single Serving Whole Wheat Pancakes with Berry Glaze

Today for breakfast, all I wanted was some yummy pancakes. But since we were on the road back home from Pittsburgh, I was stuck with a banana and some coconut water. Also yummy, but did not even come close to satisfying my pancake craving.

We got home around lunchtime, and I was starving. I usually eat a lot more than just a banana for breakfast, so I couldn't wait to get home and fill my belly. My pancake craving was still going pretty strong, so I thought, why not have pancakes for lunch? 

I wanted to attempt to make my own whole wheat pancakes, so I searched for a recipe. Most recipes I found also included white flour and sugar, so I kept searching to find a more healthy option. Then I landed on the winner. It was a single serving recipe for whole wheat pancakes  (and vegan!) with a blueberry glaze. My belly knew this was the one. Here's the recipe! 

Ingredients:

Pancakes:

1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed 

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup old fashioned oats (optional)

Pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup milk of your choice (I used unsweetened almond milk.)

1 1/2 tsp. sweetener of your choice (I used raw honey.)

1 tsp. coconut oil

Glaze:

1 cup frozen berries (I used organic strawberries and blueberries.)

1 Tbsp. sweetener of your choice (I used agave nectar for this, but only used a teaspoon.)

Directions:

Mix together whole wheat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, oats, and salt. Add in milk and sweetener. Mix together into a batter. Mine was a little thin, but they turned out fine. If you want a thicker batter, you can add a bit more flour or oats. 

Heat up coconut oil in a medium skillet. Pour about half the batter in. When bubbles start to form on top and the edges start to solidify, flip the pancake to the other side. Cook for about a minute. My pancakes were pretty thin, so it was a little hard to flip, but after working with some spatulas, I flipped it over and finished cooking. Then, I just poured the rest of the batter in to make the second pancake. The pancakes weren't perfectly round or smooth (I still haven't mastered the art of flipping pancakes), but I didn't mind. As long as they taste good, I'm happy. 

To make the glaze, mix frozen berries and sweetener of your choice in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for one minute. Stir. Microwave for another minute, stir, and done. 

I topped my pancakes with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Then I poured the heavenly berry glaze on top and added a few pecans. BEAUTIFUL and YUMMY. 

Quick, easy, and perfect for a pancake craving. ENJOY :)
