Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups unsweetened Silk Almondmilk
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
- 3 Tbsp water
- 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Vega® Essentials
- or 1/2 cup French Vanilla Vega One™ Nutritional Shake
- 1 cup dried or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 banana, mashed
- 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil, liquid
- 1 Tbsp sugar (omit if making pancakes)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, blueberries, and chopped walnuts
Preparation
-
Combine apple cider vinegar and almond milk, set aside (to make buttermilk).
-
Make a flaxseed “egg” by combining flaxseed and water. Stir and set aside.
-
Combine flour, baking powder and Vega® Essentials or Vega One® Organic All-in-One Shake. If making waffles, add sugar now.
-
In a separate bowl, combine banana, flaxseed egg, buttermilk mixture, and coconut oil (1 tablespoon for pancakes, 2 tablespoons for waffles).
-
Mix wet into dry ingredients, until mostly combined, then fold in blueberries (if the batter appears too thick, add more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time. If it’s too thin add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time).
-
For Waffles:
