Flaxseed is the secret ingredient here, replacing eggs and adding a healthy dose of omega-3s. Then all you need is coconut oil, organic soya milk, and blueberries. These are the key ingredients for this recipe. You can add your own twist to the recipe as well. Top them with creamy soya yoghurt, drizzle on some maple syrup, and pile on extra blueberries for a unique touch.
Ingredients. 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed. 1 tablespoon coconut oil. 250ml unsweetened organic soya or almond milk. 1 teaspoon cider vinegar. 125g wholemeal flour. 1 teaspoon golden caster sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda. 1 pinch of sea salt.
50g blueberries, plus extra to serve. Vegetable oil. Organic soya yoghurt, to serve. Maple syrup, to serve. Method. Start by whisking the ground flaxseed and 2½ tablespoons of cold water together, then set it aside to thicken. While that’s doing its thing, melt the coconut oil in a small pan over a medium heat, then leave it to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, combine the soya or almond milk with the cider vinegar. Add the melted coconut oil and then whisk in the flaxseed mixture you set aside earlier. Now, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Create a well in the middle and gradually pour in the wet mixture, stirring as you go. Don’t worry about the odd lump here and there—this is meant to be easy! Fold in the blueberries, then set the batter aside.
