The white flour usually in pancakes is replaced with ground flaxseed and ground almonds in these gluten-free pancakes – but you'll still get the "puff" from egg whites

Step by step
Get ahead
Make up to an hour ahead and reheat in a pan over a low heat.
- Mix the milk, flaxseed, almonds, vegetable oil, egg yolks and honey (if using) together in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, add a pinch of salt and the egg whites and whisk until you get soft peaks. Carefully fold them into the pancake batter in 2 stages, trying to keep in as much air as possible.
- Heat a nonstick frying pan over a medium– high heat and add the butter. Cook the pancakes in the pan in batches of 3 – for each one, dollop in a small ladleful (about 3 tablespoons) of the batter and scatter a tablespoon of the blueberries over the top. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom of the pancakes are brown and you can lift them up. Use a fish slice to gently flip the pancakes, then cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest of the pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes with yogurt, flaked toasted almonds, more blueberries or slices of banana and a pinch of ground cinnamon to finish.
