Avocado Blueberry Pancakes

August 10, 2017 | After School Snacks, Breakfast

Avocado Blueberry Pancakes - These Avocado & Blueberry Pancakes are a fast and easy to make, super healthy breakfast or snack. Recipe includes Thermomix method and options for GF & DF.

These Avocado Blueberry Pancakes are my latest recipe to feature on JamieOliver.com. I was asked to put a twist on Jamie’s simple One Cup Blueberry Pancakes – something simple to whip up for a fast, healthy breakfast or snack.

These have become my families favourite pancake which I’m glad about because they are super nutritious and really quick and easy to make. Even though they are not overly keen on avocado, they agree it adds a lovely texture to these pancakes.

These Avocado Blueberry Pancakes are completely sugar-free, sweetened only with the maple syrup to serve. If you feel this will be a problem for kids used to sweetener in pancakes, feel free to add a couple for tablespoons of coconut sugar or rapadura to the pancake batter (with the wet ingredients).

Health benefits

Avocado has a unique nutrition profile if you take into consideration the fact that it contains a range of vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin K, vitamin E, B-vitamins, potassium) as well as being a rich source of monounsaturated fats. The blueberries contribute protective antioxidants as well as having a pretty fabulous nutrient profile also.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit any specific dietary requirements.

Variations

Gluten-free

Substitute the spelt for a good quality gluten-free flour.

Dairy-free

Choose coconut milk and macadamia oil for your fat.

Egg-free

Replace the egg with chia egg or aquafaba. I've had lots of feedback that this works a treat.

Fructose friendly

Don't add any extra sugar to the batter and serve with rice malt syrup instead of maple syrup. 

Vegan

Combine the dairy and egg-free variations.

    Georgia, would buttermilk work ok in this recipe? I usually add 1 tbsp unrefined sugar to the mixture when I make buckwheat pancakes. Would the sugar work in your recipe too?

    Yum! My son loves these, thanks Georgia! I’ve also made them with grated apple instead of blueberries and he has them cold with non sweetened chia jam as a childcare snack. Another winner!

    Hi I’ve just recently discovered you’re fantastic website. Can we freeze these pancakes?

      Hi Corrine. You’re welcome. I actually haven’t tried freezing these but I’d guess they’d be fine. I often freeze pancakes and reheat them in the sandwich press so they get a bit crisp on the outside G x

    Hi Georgia! What kind of non stick pan do you use for your pancakes and wraps ( from your lunchbox ebook)? Thanks

      Hi Aneta
      I cook mine on the Solidteknics crepe pan which you can see here – it’s the safest most stunning pan, actually their whole range is fantastic and I love that it lasts a lifetime https://t.cfjump.com/15188/t/14846?Url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.biome.com.au%2f684_solidteknics Hope this helps G x

    Hi, I was wondering if you can make the pancake mix the night before and leave in fridge ?

      Hi Ingrid, I haven’t tried, I’d just be worried the avo would oxidise to much is all. But let me know if you do try it how it goes G x

    Hi Georgia, I am curious what a good substitute option would be for the Thermomix? I would love to try this recipe, but I do not have one of these (and lets be honest I don’t want to drop 1000+ for pancakes). Let me know what might work 🙂

      The recipe has a regular method too (first line). Any blender or stick blender (anything that can puree) will do the trick Audrey G x

    Hello!
    I would like to try this, but after throwing away one too many horrid brown avocados, I started buying bags of frozen chunks.
    Could I ask if you have at least a vague idea of how much the flesh of a medium avocado weighs?
    Many thanks!

      I’m guessing Elena but I’d work to around 50g G x

    Not sure what we did wrong here? After reading all the rave reviews, we made these today. My 14 year old son and I tried them. They were so awful, they actually went in the bin. Please explain what I might of done different to everyone else for them to taste so bad. I followed the recipe to the t.

      Hi, really sorry they were not to your liking. If you are sure you followed the recipe exactly it may have come down to one of your ingredients used.
