Ingredients:
1 cup organic whole wheat flour
1 organic grass fed egg
3/4 cup organic milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar or organic raw sugar
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Additions:
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup blueberry Kefir
1 teaspoon almond extract
Fresh organic blueberries
Whip cream (gotta have whip cream on pancakes it’s a must)
Directions:
1. Add all the ingredients (except the whip cream of course – you can save some blueberries for a topping as well) beat it and cook it – and whalah you have some delicious blueberry Kefir pancakes – a perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner.
2. A note with the blueberry Kefir if you add some to the batter it becomes pasteurized again when it cooks, therefore killing all the beneficial yeast and bacteria which was so lovingly cultured to life. It does add a delicious scent while cooking and a delightful flavor to the pancakes but it will no longer have the healing properties of Kefir.
3. It may be a sin among Kefir artisans but I sure do love the smell and taste with a little bit in the batter (shhh don’t tell.) You may just want to save the Kefir and use it as a topping once the pancakes are cooked, or be a bit daring and do both…
4. The blueberry Kefir I tried was made by Lifeway (they have a fun musical Kefir bar and Kerfirability profile feature so if you are in the mood for a little fun loving psychoanalysis check them out) – I also discovered there are some ebay sellers selling coupons to Lifeway products so if you are interested in trying Kefir why not save a little money as well.
