Ingredients
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 small avocado
1 tsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. lime zest
2/3 c. buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Butter, for pan and for serving
1/2 c. blueberries, plus more for serving
Maple syrup, for serving
Preparation
Step 1In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Step 2In a medium bowl, mash avocado and lime juice with a fork until smooth. Whisk in honey, lime zest, and buttermilk. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until fully combined. Step 3Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Step 4In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt a thin pat of butter to coat the bottom of the skillet. Ladle ¼ cup pancake batter into skillet, then use the bottom of the measuring cup to smooth batter into a 4 ½"-wide pancake. Top with a few blueberries if desired, then cook until bubbles start to form in batter and pancake is golden underneath, about 3 to 4 minutes. Step 5Flip and cook the other side until golden, 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.Step 6Serve pancakes with butter, maple syrup, and more blueberries.
Note that due to the fat content of the avocados, these pancakes will be a little denser and mushier than your classic brunch stack! To decrease the moisture of these pancakes, skip cooking the blueberries and just drop them on top of your stack during plating.
