🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Batter
Add oats to a blender and blend until flour-like (skip if using oat flour).
Add all remaining ingredients except blueberries and blend until smooth and thick.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes—this helps the pancakes become fluffier.
⸻
2️⃣ Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold blueberries into the batter using a spoon. This prevents them from breaking and turning the batter purple.
⸻
3️⃣ Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.
Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
⸻
4️⃣ Serve Warm
Stack the pancakes and serve immediately for best texture.
