Notes
Storage: These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or skillet before serving.
For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries; if you opt for frozen, ensure they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the batter. Be cautious with lavender; a little goes a long way, so start with less and adjust to taste. If you’re looking to make these pancakes dairy-free, substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk, and use a plant-based yogurt for the topping.
These pancakes can be prepared in advance and reheated in the toaster for a quick breakfast during busy days. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving for an extra touch of sweetness!
