I just got back from spending a week at my parents house in Vermont, which was as wonderful as ever. Iâm always well fed, we have lots of hang out sessions by the fire and walks in the woods, but itâs our weekend morning routines I love the most.
The dogs wake up early, so that means Iâm out of by early too, but then we spend all morning just hanging out. We read the paper, drink our tea + coffee and always have blueberry pancakes. On Saturday I didnât get out of my pjs until noon. It was magnificent.
I think thatâs why blueberry pancakes hold such a special place in my heart. Thereâs almost nothing Iâd rather do then spend a lazy morning weekend with the people I love most eating a big stack of homemade blueberry pancakes (drizzled in a generous helping of pure maple syrup, of course).
These vegan blueberry pancakes are my newest go-to recipe. Iâve been making the same quinoa pancake recipe forever now, but just recently made one teeny tweak that changed the whole texture of the pancakes.
They went from being light and tender to the fluffiest cakes Iâve ever tried. The secret? Coconut flour.
I donât bake much with coconut flour these days because it usually requires a ton of eggs (which Iâm not eating very often these days), but what Iâve realized is that when you use it in small amounts it can add AH-MAZING texture!
With the pancakes itâs the ingredient that makes them the best pancakes Iâve ever tasted. Theyâre ultra fluffy, but also moist and tender. They soak up the maple syrup, but donât fall apart when you cut into them with your fork.
AND they donât need any weird binders. Just simple, whole-grain goodness with all the flavor and none of the junk.
And now itâs time to turn it over to youâ¦
Whatâs your favorite lazy morning breakfast? Do you have a family tradition that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Share yours below! Letâs make each other smile because family = the best thing ever <3
