I call them “Smoothie Pancakes” because everything is made in the blender and really really resembles a smoothie!
Combine banana, milk, Greek yogurt, egg, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pinch of cinnamon, if using, vanilla, lemon zest, 1 TBSP olive oil, whole wheat flour and half of your blueberries in a blender. Process until smooth. Stir in the remaining blueberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes for flour to hydrate.
In the meantime, preheat non stick frying pan over medium to medium high heat until very hot, at least 4 minutes. Pour a little bit of oil, then wipe it with a paper towel to remove the excess. I used ¼ cup measure to pour the exact amount of batter into the preheated skillet, once it’s hot. Cook for a couple of minutes, until golden, the edges are crisp, flip and cook the other side. This batter spreads a lot so cook one or two pancakes at a time only in one skillet. You may need to turn the heat down to medium, even medium low, and add additional oil (as well as wipe it with a towel to remove the excess) after each batch.
Serve with sliced bananas, more blueberries, Greek Yogurt or whatever else you like. Enjoy!
