Fluffy Vegan Blueberry Pancakes

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 1/4 cup Malt-o-Meal cereal, dry
• 2 tablespoons milled cane sugar
• 4 teaspoons Rumford baking powder

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl combine flours, oats, cereal, cane sugar, baking powder and salt.

3. Pour into dry ingredients and combine. Gently stir in blueberries.
4. Heat skillet. To test for temperature, sprinkle a few drops of water in pan. If they dance across the skillet, it is hot enough. Spray lightly with oil.
5. Form four 4-inch pancakes, and cook until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook until golden brown. (To keep pancakes hot, stack on oven-safe plate and keep in warm oven.) Serve with warm maple syrup or Simple Blueberry Sauce (also available on the site).
