Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender or food processor, pulse 1 cup rolled oats until they reach a fine flour consistency. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined; batter will be slightly thick.
  3. Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm.
  4. Step 4: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until blueberries burst and sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Serve pancakes stacked with warm blueberry compote spooned liberally on top.
