Organic Valley recently came out with new flavored creamers. And they are so good! My favorite is the French Vanilla, shocker. I was helping Organic Valley come up with ways to use these new flavored creamers in things other than coffee. And organic pancakes, waffles, and French toast are all great recipes to use flavored creamers in!

So, I got inspired and I made this recipe for French Vanilla Blueberry Pancakes. My Blueberry Waffles recipe is always super popular, usually making the top posts of all time here on my site. So I thought you’d all love a homemade pancakes with blueberries as well.

I added Organic Valley French Vanilla Creamer into my classic Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes recipe. I subbed some of the milk for creamer and I also added a little cinnamon. I didn’t add any vanilla extract here as it’s not needed because the Organic Valley French Vanilla Creamer has so much flavor! So if you run out of vanilla extract, this is the perfect homemade pancakes recipe to make!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

French Vanilla: This recipe uses French vanilla coffee creamer for an incredibly easy way to incorporate this flavor into homemade pancakes!

Light and Fluffy: These organic pancakes are light and fluffy pancakes that cooks up beautifully!

Healthier Option: I use a mix of all purpose flour and Kamut flour to bring more nutrients to these organic pancakes. Kamut flour is an ancient grain and it has more protein and added health benefits that traditional flour doesn't have.

Organic Pancakes: Making organic pancakes at home is going to be so much better for you than buying a box mix from the grocery store!

Ingredients

Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter, you can use your favorite.
All Purpose Flour: I use organic all purpose flour for homemade pancakes as they need structure and this flour makes a fluffy pancakes that also stays together.
Kamut Flour: I also use a little bit of organic Kamut flour in these homemade pancakes. Kamut flour is an ancient grain that is similar to all purpose flour but it has more protein and nutrients. It also gives a sweet, slightly nutty flavor to recipes. If you don't have this, you can use all purpose or you can even use whole wheat for more flavor.
Baking Powder: Use baking powder, not soda.
Salt: Use fine sea salt.
Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar for natural sweetness. This is less processed and much tastier than granulated white sugar.
Eggs: Use large eggs.
Cinnamon: I use organic Korintje cinnamon, which is my favorite kind. Check out my post the Best Cinnamon to Bake With to learn more about the different varieties of cinnamon.
Milk: I use whole milk, grassfed is my favorite because I think it tastes the best.
French Vanilla Creamer: I use Organic Valley French Vanilla Creamer. If you don't have this you can just use milk or even heavy whipping cream as well.
Cooking Spray: I prefer making homemade pancakes with a cooking spray because these are made with high heat oils, where butter can brown when its heated for too long. I like to use extra virgin olive oil cooking spray or coconut to avoid seed oils.
Blueberries: I use organic fresh blueberries inside these homemade pancakes, but you can also use frozen too!
Maple Syrup: I love topping homemade pancakes with organic maple syrup.

Tools Needed

Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
Small Pot: You'll need a small pot to melt the butter.
Mixing Bowl: These organic pancakes come together so easily, you'll just need a mixing bowl to mix up the batter.
Whisk: I use a whisk to mix up the batter.
Skillet: You can use a large skillet or a cast iron skillet, either will work.

FAQ's

Can I use another flavored creamer?

Yes, feel free to use any kind of flavored creamer you like! If you are using a hazelnut creamer, your pancakes will be hazelnut flavored, for example.

What if I don't have Kamut flour?

If you don't have Kamut flour you can just use all purpose flour in its place. It won't have the same flavor, but it will work and it will still be delicious! You could also use whole wheat flour for a different flavor.

What can I serve these with?

I love topping pancakes with fresh blueberries! You could also use banana slices, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. I also can't have pancakes without maple syrup! But, these would also be delicious with almond butter or peanut butter. If you are looking for more protein to add to this meal, try my Fluffy Scrambled Eggs or Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages.
