Ingredients
  

Pancakes

  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons oat flour
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole meal corn flour, not cornmeal; I use Bob’s Red Mill
  • 3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain kefir, buttermilk or 1 cup less 1 tablespoon soy milk mixed with 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons sunflower oil, canola oil, or melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Unsalted butter for cooking

Peach and Blueberry Maple Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 large peaches, peeled and sliced
  • cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup, preferably dark
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon or ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Plain yogurt, optional

Instructions
 

  • For the pancakes: Combine the oat flour, corn flour, brown sugar, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to blend. Place the kefir, or buttermilk in a 2 cup glass measure cup (if using soy milk, combine it at the and vinegar in the cup and let stand until thickened, about 5 minutes). Add the eggs, oil and vanilla and whisk to blend. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  • For the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the peaches and cook until just warm, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the blueberries and cook until just warm, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Mix in the syrup and cardamom and cook until heated through. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add a little butter and let it melt, spreading to coat the pan. Add the batter by 2 tablespoons full. Let cook until a few bubbles appear on the surface and the bottoms are brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook until the second side is brown and pancakes are cooked through, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer to warmed plates. Butter the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

Serve the pancakes with the warm sauce, and dollops of yogurt, if desired.
