Ingredients
  

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Heaping ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter, plus more for brushing
  • teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or thawed frozen*
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
  • In a separate, medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, avocado oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing—small lumps in the batter are fine.
  • If using fresh blueberries, gently fold them into the batter. For frozen blueberries, keep them aside to add during cooking.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly brush the skillet with oil or melted butter.
  • Using a ⅓-cup measuring scoop, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. If using frozen berries, quickly scatter a few over the batter on each pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and puffed.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet lightly with oil between batches as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, additional blueberries, or your favorite toppings.
