Blueberry Pancakes

The weekends at our house are for relaxation, spending time with friends and love ones, and the occasional diy project. But the one thing that is constant on our weekends is having a hearty and filling saturday morning breakfast! My husband along with our beloved dog loves pancakes. Yes, our dog is a spoiled little pooch and usually has a pancake to herself on the weekend. You can’t resist those sad dog eyes in our household.

So over the years I have managed to create a perfect pancake recipe that is not only delicious but dairy and egg free. You can also substitute the whole wheat flour for oat flour to make it gluten free as well. The pancakes are so light and fluffy but the mashed banana and vegan butter create a wonderful consistency. I hope you enjoy these pancakes as much as we love them in our household.
