Blueberry Pie Pancakes

Mmm these were like a warm hug, tasted like my childhood and went down easily and tastily. My stomach didn't have one bad thing to say about this stack. Fresh, fruity and tasty as hell.

Ingredients: 

1/4 cup buckwheat flour and 1/4 cup brown rice flour (approximately, would work with just buckwheat or a little less than half a cup brown rice flour, which is what I tend to do) 

Approx 1 tbsp maca powder (I use this one) and 1tbsp Mesquite powder (optional) 

1 tbsp vanilla extract, or real vanilla if you have it 

2 flax eggs (2 tbsp flaxseed and 6 tbsp of water, left for at least half an hour but for as long as possible) 

1/2 cup milk of choice 

1 tsp baking powder 

One banana, mashed, ripe

As many blueberries as you like! 

For the compote: 

A couple of handfuls of your favourite berries 

Between 1/4-1/2 cup of water 

A few drops of vanilla, and spices of your choice (if you like, not necessary, could also add maple syrup or agave if you want it sweeter) 

Method: 

Make the pancake batter in a big bowl first! Have your flax eggs in the fridge and your banana mashed and ready. Combine the flours, baking powder and maca powder and mesquite powder to the bowl and combine. Next, add your wet ingredients (almond milk, banana, vanilla extract, flax eggs) and combine to make the mixture nice and smooth. 

In a well greased pan, cook your pancakes one by one, adding a few blueberries straight away after placing a couple of spoonfuls of the mixture in the pan. Cook until bubbles start to form on top, and then flip. Remove when cooked, and repeat until all finished. 

For the compote, simply place berries in a saucepan with the water and the vanilla/ spices/ extras and bring to the boil, then reduce down to a simmer until thickened up, mashing berries as you go, to form a thick sauce. 

And hey presto, got yourself some pie pancakes! Make sure you wash your hands after though, my hands were looking a little blue by the end of breakfast (hehe)
