Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons oat flour
  • 1 cup packed almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for more lemon flavor, reduce milk by 2T and add an extra 2T of lemon juice)
  • Zest from one lemon – be careful to only get the lemon zest and not the whites of the lemon to avoid bitterness
  • 1 cup of fresh blueberries (frozen works well, too!) – coat with a tsp of almond flour to prevent sinking
