Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes: A one bowl recipe for fluffy, moist blueberry pancakes that are perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
Happy Thursday! What are you planning to do this weekend? Anything special?
As for me, I’ll be living vicariously through you, the wildly dramatic stories of the peeps in my Netflix marathons and… sleeping. I’ve got no shame—only a comfy robe and cozy socks.
Okay, so it’s been like, what, a month since Daylight Savings Time defied the laws of time and common decency and jumped us forward… but I’m still sleepy.
Anyone else feel this way?
Meanwhile, I’ve turned to my usual go-tos for a nice pick me up: fun workout videos on YouTube, a brisk walk with Erik to one of our favorite places (the grocery store, who are we kidding), calling up my mom to hear another one of her wild stories, or a GIANT cup of coffee and so forth.
I’ve also been checking out all the delicious and creative breakfast recipes online. Can you believe this super creative recipe from Vegetarian Mamma– it’s chocolate chip coffeecake made with pancake mix! And, I totally just peeped (yeah, I said that) this seriously perfect-looking stack of banana oatmeal pancakes from Dishing Delish. Just gonna use almondmilk and flax eggs to make ’em vegan. .
But when the going gets goin’ and I’m all cozy-like in my jammies, all I want is a big, fluffy stack of pancakes. Scratch that—all I need is a giant stack of Vegan Blueberry Pancakes. Like, woah.
There’s just something about a glorious stack of blueberry pancakes that makes the world brighter and better, dontcha think?
Check it out, these Whole Wheat Blueberry Coconut Pancakes are:
- ridiculously easy to make
- made with just one bowl
- full of simple, whole ingredients
- vegan and whole grain
- fluffy, moist and just everything
If you’re looking for a super cozy accoutrement to your weekend in, or just want to add a guilt-free recipe to your breakfast and brunch repertoire, look no further than these guys. Consider your tummies happy.
Plus, you wouldn’t want your GIANT cup of coffee to be lonely, right?
Remember, the fluffy robe is only suggested, not required, to make these. 😉 And if you’re looking for a citrus-y twist on breakfast, you’ve got to try Healthy Seasonal Recipes’ deliciously gluten-free tangerine protein pancakes. <– Doesn’t that sound yummy? To make vegan + dairy-free, use vegan cottage cheese and flax eggs instead of eggs! 😉

Whole Wheat Blueberry Coconut Pancakes
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 8-10 pancakes (1/4 cup batter each) 1x
Description
Whole Wheat Blueberry Coconut Pancakes: A one bowl recipe for fluffy, moist blueberry pancakes that are perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup homemade oat flour*
- ¼ cup white whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup almond meal
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or dark brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond milk
- 1 modified flax egg (1 1/3 tablespoons ground flax + 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 5 mins)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce**
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, whole wheat flour, almond meal, coconut, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add in the wet ingredients: milk, flax egg, applesauce and vanilla. Whisk together until just well mixed—do not overmix, as doing so will result in tough pancakes.
- Gently fold in blueberries—be careful not to overmix, as doing so will make the batter purple.
- To keep pancakes warm: Preheat the oven to 225°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Set a skillet to medium-low heat. Coat with nonstick spray or oil. Scoop about ¼ cup batter into the skillet to make each pancake. When several bubbles of air rise up and pop in the pancake, that’s a good sign that it’s time to flip. You can gently test one pancake: using a very flat, heatproof spatula, lift up a corner of the pancake. If it stays firm, it’s time to flip.
- In between rounds of pancakes, make sure to carefully wipe the skillet off with a damp cloth and recoat with nonstick spray or oil.
- To keep warm, place pancakes on the prepared baking sheet and into the oven. Remove from the oven when ready.
- Serve as you’d like, with maple syrup or other toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
– *To make homemade oat flour: place rolled oats into a blender. Blend until you get a just slightly grainy flour. Remember: 1 cup of rolled oats does not equal 1 cup of oat flour. You’ll need to blend more rolled oats to create less flour- the oats decrease in volume as you turn it into a flour. It’s easiest to blend up a big batch of oat flour, and just scoop out what’s needed for any recipe.
– **You can substitute the unsweetened applesauce with coconut oil.

Nicoletta @sugarlovespices says
Just two more weekends and I’ll be home making these lovely vegan pancakes with my husband 🙂 . They look and sound sooo yummy! Love blueberries, but also raspberries, still don’t know which one we’re going to choose. I’ve been having busy weekends since I’m in Italy, can’t wait to spend some quiet ones when I get back. Cheers!
Amanda | Yum In Your Tum says
I think you are going to turn me into a vegan, because these look so delicious and sound a lot healthier than regular pancakes. LOVE IT! Sounds like you are having a nice weekend, I wish I could sleep in. My toddler wont let me *crying face*. My favorite toppings are now blueberries! 🙂
demeter | beaming baker says
Haha. Well, the vegan world is full of all kinds of delicious goodness. 🙂 Oh no, I wish you could sleep in too… Hopefully you get a break soon. Wohoo for healthier vegan pancakes! Thanks for stopping by Amanda. 🙂
karrie @ Tasty Ever After says
Hope your weekend is going well. Loving these pancakes and already pinned! I had everything to make these beauties this weekend and then I forgot the almond milk. D’oh! I’m picking up the almond milk this week and will make them next weekend. Have to split the batter though to leave out the shredded coconut for Hubby cause he doesn’t like it. He’s clearly missing out because I think coconut adds all sorts of flavor to whatever it’s added to. More coconut for me!! 🙂
★★★★★
demeter | beaming baker says
Is it! Hope yours is too, Karrie. 🙂 Thanks so much for pinning! Oh no… always have almond milk on hand, I say! No coconut for the hubs? Aw, I like the subtle sweetness that coconut adds to these pancakes. Be sure to let me know how it turns out. 🙂 I’ll be waiting on pins and needles! lol. Sending you extra coconut! Thanks Karrie. 🙂
Dawn at Girl Heart Food says
I think that a robe is definitely required, or some leggings and big cozy socks, for sure! These pancakes look so good. Wishing I could grab one from the screen right now!! I definitely like to chill on the weekend too. Usually hubby and I catch up on all the show from earlier in the week. As soon as my butt gets in the door on Friday I throw on the comfy clothes and it usually stays that way all weekend 🙂 I’m still tired and not over the daylight savings time thing yet, either, but then again, I’m usually always tired or is that always hungry? Lol 🙂 Either way, this recipe fits the bill perfectly cause I can sit back with my comfy clothes on, stuff my face with these lovely pancakes and drink a cup-o-coffee the size of my head all while comfy on the coach watching tv 😉 Score! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend!
demeter | beaming baker says
Niiice! Sending some to ya, through the screen! (Is that possible yet??? lol). That’s my kind of weekend. I’m gonna go with you being hungry–let’s just say we think alike. 😉 Hope you’re having a great weekend as well! Thanks Dawn. 🙂
Serena @ Serena's Kitchen says
Those look amazing, my mouth is watering! I could totally go for those now, even thought it’s 10pm… I’ll try to wait til tomorrow morning to make them 😉 … Great pics!!
demeter | beaming baker says
Pancakes for dinner? Or a late-night dessert? Sounds like a fantastic idea! Thanks so much Serena! 🙂
Julie at Hostess At Heart says

Oh yes!! That sounds awesome! Thanks Julie. 🙂
Sheryl | When Hungry says
What a yummy way to start mornings! I like that you used blueberries here (my fave yum!). Ah Demeter, your vegan recipes in my list starts to pile up.
demeter | beaming baker says
Agreed! 🙂 Give it a go sometime and let me know how it turns out. Thanks for stopping by Sheryl!
Sheryl | When Hungry says
Yes!! I’ll start with your Choco Chip Walnut Cookie Bars ?
Kate @ Framed Cooks says
I am going to be spring cleaning my closet, and I am seriously excited about it. Not kidding – I really am! And clearly I am also going to be making a big stack of blueberry pancakes, because SO MUCH YUM. Pinned! xo
demeter | beaming baker says
Wohoo! Hey, I’m a fellow organizer too! I mean, cleaning can be very calming, right? 😉 That and pancakes sounds awesome Kate! Thanks for stopping by and pinning. Have a great weekend! 🙂 xo

Thanks Marsha!
Stephanie | The Foodie and The Fix says
These just might be the happiest pancakes I’ve ever seen. I know this is going to sound nuts, but I’m not a huge pancake person. I’ll eat them (because they’re generally not nailed down to the floor), but I’m more of a crepe, french toast or waffle kind of girl. HOWEVER! Holy cow are these babies gorgeous! I’m suddenly craving pancakes. Like right now. Plus, blueberries? Come on! Who could possibly resist?
★★★★★
demeter | beaming baker says
Yay for happy pancakes. 🙂 Oh! I’ve heard nuttier things. Very interesting, Steph. I’ll take ’em all: crepes, french toast, all of the breakfast things! Wohoo!! Then my job is done! Sending a big stack of extra pancakes to ya girly. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Laura ~ RYG says
I love how you heathified pancakes here, I mean, Bisquick never quite satisfies and is kinda gross. Right!? You’re looks luscious. Those blueberries piled on top look wonderful and a real crowd pleaser. Saturday morning beckons! And I’m with you on Daylight Savings time, I have never recovered and we’re all waking up at weird times. It’s a government conspiracy!
demeter | beaming baker says
Haha. If we’re gonna have pancakes, we might as well sneakily make them healthy, right? 😉 Thanks so much Laura! Oh, LOL on the government conspiracy. Let’s hope we all recover soon. Have a great weekend, L! 😉
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Well if your living vicariously through me be prepared to be extremely disappointed! Although I am getting a peddy tomorrow, my plans for the weekend are Ummmm zilch. Sleep. Develop some recipes. Exciting stuff over here. 😉 Oh, and yes I’m still freggin exhausted from the time change. Damn spring forward. Loooooving these easy, fluffy, beautiful stacks of hunk-a-hunk-a blueberry pancake love, Demeter! Totally need to add these to my Sunday plans… errr lack of plans. Pinned! Cheers, sweetness! Xo
★★★★★
demeter | beaming baker says
Haha. Doubtful! I would LOVE to visit the ol’ SuBourbon Country Cottage! I’m just imagining it… the fancy naan pizzas, the incredible chia seed puddings… Oh, and the company! Did I also mention the mimosas? Mostly though, girl… I just NEED some sleep. Thank goodness someone else feels the same way about the time change! Thanks for the comment love & for pinning, Chey. Have an awesome weekend with yo man, and yay for peddy! xoxo
Liz @ Ready to Yumble says
OMGGGG your pictures are so incredible that I’m feeling *slightly* let down that I can’t actually eat the pancakes through the screen. (I may keep trying occasionally.) BTW Ross and I have a date this weekend to discuss retirement accounts soooo…how’s that for old and oh-so-uncool? Haha but seriously, some weekends, can’t beat a relaxing Netflix fest and early bedtime!
demeter | beaming baker says
Liz, you are so funny! 😉 And now I may put down my camera in delight. I’ve achieved my goal of making these pics droolworthy! 😉 LOL. You and Ross are still hip and young to moi. That’s cooler than watching TV in my jammies, right? Meh, who cares, as long as we’re happy! Erm, have “fun” planning your retirement, Liz! Haha. 😉 Have a great weekend. xoxo
Kim | Low Carb Maven says
Oh, wow! These look seriously delicious. They would make all of my breakfast dreams come true. And that first picture? I just wanted to lick that syrup off of the screen! I love that you included almond flour and coconut in the pancakes making them a hearty breakfast as well!
demeter | beaming baker says
Aw, thanks so much Kim! Breakfast dreams really are the best dreams, aren’t they? 😉 Thanks so much for the compliments! Have a great weekend. 🙂
mira says
Pancakes are the perfect breakfast for the weekend! These look delicious! Have a nice and relaxing weekend!
demeter | beaming baker says
Right? 🙂 Thanks so much Mira. Same to you! 🙂
lucy says
Demeter, how did you know what I need to make this weekend? These blueberry pancakes look so warm and inviting, like a big blueberry hug! My fiancé and I have been go! go! go!!! this past month and it has tired me out. This weekend, I want to just stay home, snuggle in my bathrobe and make THESE pancakes. And of course, enjoy them with many cups of coffee! Have a great weekend!
★★★★★
demeter | beaming baker says
I’m psychic. 😉 J/K! Still workin’ on it. Haha. Aw, sending you big, big blueberry hugs! I’m so sorry that you’ve been feeling so tired. 🙁 Hoping that you get to snuggle up and relax big time this weekend. Have a good weekend and take care of yourself, Lucy. xoxo
Evi @ greenevi says
I have to admit this blog is my ultimate feel-good place (and my feeling-ashamed place as well). Your favourite place, the grocery store? I’m so with you guys on this. Netflix and cozy clothes. Absolutely. However, I am still trying so hard NOT to admit these things and pretend I’m still my teenage self going out on the weekends and being cool. Like I used to, before I turned into a grandma….
I really wish we lived closer to each other so we could be uncool all together!
BTW let me just tell you I am not super into pancakes normally, but these are here just fabulous! Your pictures make me really sad right now that I have some potatoes in my oven and not these beauties on the stove top. But hey, weekend plans at least 😉
★★★★★
demeter | beaming baker says
That’s awesome! Well, the feel-good part at least. 😉 Haha, how’d I know that you’d love the grocery store too? Girl, I have just about given up on the whole being-cool and young thing. Is that sad? Haha. We can make weekends-in our own kind of cool. Lol. Oh, I so wished we lived nearby as well! We’d be cooking up so much food and totally shamelessly chillaxing together. 🙂
Okay, how about we trade? I give you pancakes and you gimme some of those potatoes. Deal? 😉 Have a great weekend, Evi!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
It sounds like you will have a very relaxing weekend, Demeter! And I second you on that giant cup (or three) of coffee! I will be in Arizona for my brother’s wedding, so I’m looking forward to relaxing when I get back! 🙂 This blueberry pancakes sound incredible! I love how fluffy and full of flavor these are. I would gladly devour this entire stack for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Pancake perfection right here! Pinned!
demeter | beaming baker says
Yes, I hope so! Have a great time at the wedding Gayle. 🙂 Thanks so much for you lovely comments and pinning. Enjoy your trip to AZ!
