Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• Pinch of salt (balances sweetness)

Wet Ingredients

• ¼ cup avocado oil (adds moisture + richness)

• 1–2 tablespoons honey (1 tbsp for the batter; extra for serving)

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the flour with a pinch of salt. This helps prevent lumps and ensures even mixing later.

2. Add the wet ingredients.

Pour in the eggs, avocado oil, honey, vanilla extract, and water.

Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth, fluid, and slightly thin — the batter should resemble a pourable crepe batter, not a thick traditional pancake batter.

If it’s too thick, add 1–3 tablespoons of water to loosen it.

3. Heat your pan.

Lightly oil a nonstick or ceramic skillet.

Warm it over medium heat — not too high, or the pancakes will brown before they cook through.

4. Cook the pancakes.

Scoop a ladle of batter into the pan, letting it naturally spread into a thin circle.

Cook until:

• tiny bubbles form on the surface

• edges look slightly set

Flip gently and cook for another 30–60 seconds.

Repeat until all the batter is used.

5. Serve warm.

Stack or fold the pancakes, then top with:

• fresh blueberries

• a drizzle of warm honey

• optional: extra vanilla, nut butter, or lemon zest

Tips for Perfect Crepe-Style Pancakes

✔ Use water for lighter pancakes.

Water keeps the batter thin and crepe-like. Milk will make them slightly thicker and richer — still delicious.

✔ Don’t overmix.

A few tiny lumps are normal. Overmixing can make pancakes chewy.

✔ Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

This helps the flour hydrate and creates a smoother texture.

✔ Thin the batter if needed.

If your batter feels thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it pours easily.

✔ Use medium heat, not high.

These cook quickly — gentle heat keeps them soft and golden, not dry.

✔ Store & reheat.

Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan for 1–2 minutes for the best texture.

How to Personalize This Recipe

These pancakes pair beautifully with almost anything. Try:

• strawberries + maple syrup

• banana slices + almond butter

• chia jam + toasted walnuts

• lemon zest + powdered sugar

• yogurt + warm berries

Or fold them like crepes and fill them with nut butter, fruit spreads, or a simple sweet cream.

Final Thoughts

These pancakes are everything breakfast should be — simple, nourishing, quick, and made with ingredients you already have at home. They’re light enough for weekdays but feel special enough for a slow Saturday morning.

Once you taste them with fresh blueberries and honey, you may never go back to boxed pancake mixes.

Enjoy every bite. 🍯💙
