Avocado Pancakes

I've been making an effort to increase my "good" fats recently, adding more avocados, nuts and fish into my meals. I love these avocado pancakes because they're just like regular pancakes, only more fluffy and silky. They also have such a lovely flavour, I skip the syrup altogether. Okay, I also happen to love the colour green, so there's that, too! ;)

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 4 pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 Tbsp melted butter
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 a ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, honey and vanilla in a blender and puree until well combined. Add avocado and blend until smooth.


2. Add remaining ingredients and blend until dry ingredients are incorporated, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. Do not over mix.


3. Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium high heat. Pour batter onto pan in quarters.

4. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, flip over. Cook on second side until golden brown.


5. I love mine with chopped fresh fruit as it's so refreshing. You can also have the usual maple syrup, powdered sugar, or sugar and lemon. Yum yum!
