These pancakes are amazing. They’re big, fluffy and packed full of almond butter, everything you need for the perfect weekend brunch. It’s a great recipe to have as they use a handful of cupboard ingredients that are easy to keep in the kitchen. If you don’t have almond butter, you can replace it with any other kind of nut butter.
Makes: 12 small pancakes

Season: Year Round
Ingredients
300g self-raising flour
320ml almond milk (or oat milk)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons of smooth and creamy almond butter
Rapeseed oil (or butter/coconut oil)
To serve
Maple syrup
Blueberries
Method
-
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, almond milk, maple syrup and almond butter until a smooth batter forms.
-
Heat some rapeseed oil (or butter/coconut oil) in a pan. Once warm, spoon in a large spoonful of the pancake mixture and spread it out a little with the back of the spoon.
-
Leave to cook for 3-5 minutes until cooked on the bottom. Once it feels cooked on the bottom, flip the pancake over and cook on the topside for 2-3 minutes until the pancake is cooked through. We usually cook 3 in a pan at a time.
-
Repeat with the rest of the mixture until you have all of your pancakes.
-
Serve with a handful of fresh blueberries, if using.
