Blueberry Citrus Sauce & Baked Vegan Pancakes

Fingers crossed, it may be a good year for my blueberry bushes –

Outside of a few of the 40+ bushes, most have put on good-looking berries. I am really, really hoping it goes smoothly this year! But for now, I pulled out frozen berries from last summer’s harvest. Just a few pounds are all I have left, I am enjoying them slowly!

Baked Vegan Pancakes

• 1 cup white whole wheat flour

• 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp fine se salt
• 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (used almond)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°, lightly oil a 24 count mini muffin tin, preferably a slick non-stick.

Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, add milk and oil, whisk until just moistened.

Makes 24 mini-pancakes, serving 4.
