Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

These pancakes offer a delicious way to start your day with a boost of antioxidants from fresh berries and the smooth, nutty flavor of soy. They are light yet filling, making them perfect for a wholesome breakfast that keeps you energized for hours.

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, and baking powder. In a larger bowl, whisk the soymilk, eggs, brown sugar, and soybean oil until everything is nicely combined. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ones and gently stir just until everything comes together—don’t overmix. Fold in about 2 cups of the berries.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with a bit of soybean oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming and starting to pop on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or two until both sides are golden brown.

Step 3

Keep going until you’ve used up all the batter. Serve the pancakes warm with the remaining berries on top and a drizzle of maple syrup if you like.

Serving Style Ideas

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey and a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or a side of fresh fruit can add extra texture and nutrition to your meal.

Freezing Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave to keep them soft and warm. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes between sheets of parchment paper and thaw as needed.
