    Blue Spirulina Pancakes with Oat Flour

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Blue spirulina pancakes are a super fun pancake recipe to make! These blue pancakes are dyed naturally with powdered blue spirulina.

    My blue spirulina pancakes are super healthy for you and are loaded with healthy ingredients like oat flour, banana, egg, and coconut oil.

    What is blue spirulina?

    Blue spirulina is a blue-green-algae which grows in ponds, lakes and alkaline waterways. It is loaded with health benefits.

    Blue spirulina health benefits:

    Blue spirulina is rich in many health benefits that can help heal the body from inflammation including vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and antioxidants.

    What does blue spirulina taste like?

    Unlike green spirulina, blue spirulina has a very mild flavor. Blue spirulina tastes slightly bitter, which becomes undetectable when combined with other ingredients, especially sweet ones.

    BLUE SPIRULINA PANCAKE INGREDIENTS:

    • Oat flour
    • Baking powder
    • Pink sea salt
    • Banana
    • Egg
    • Milk of choice
    • Coconut oil
    • Blue spirulina

    HOW TO MAKE BLUE SPIRULINA PANCAKES:

    Step 1: Prepare the Batter

    First, you're going to combine all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.

    Note: If you don't have oat flour, it is so easy to make your own at home! And, it's actually even cheaper to make your own at home than to buy it at the store. All you have to do is grab some old fashioned oats and process them! I've used a coffee grinder, blender, or food processor. All work pretty much the same!

    Next, prepare your wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Mash your banana, then add the egg, milk, and the coconut oil.

    Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.

    Step 2: Make your pancake batter blue with blue spirulina!

    Depending on how dark you want your pancakes to be, add anywhere from 1-2 teaspoons of blue spirulina powder. You can test it out by adding ½ teaspoon of blue spirulina at a time and seeing how dark of a color you get!

    Step 3: cook your pancakes!

    Finally, time to cook your cool blue pancakes!

    Heat about a teaspoon of oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Once the pan is hot, add ¼ cup - ½ cup of pancake batter to your pan. Depending on how big you want your pancakes, you can add even more batter!

    Flip your pancake once the bubbles on the surface have popped. Cook the other side until golden brown. Depending on how dark blue you made them, you may have to look closely!

    Add your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!

    Some of my favorite healthy pancake toppings: yogurt, fresh fruit, chopped up protein bar.

    Storing your blue spirulina pancakes:

    Store your blue spirulina pancakes in the fridge for about 4 days. Or, you can put them in an airtight container and store them for up to a month in the freezer! I like to store my pancakes in the freezer because it's so easy to pull out for breakfast on a busy morning!

    • Blueberries

    Notes

    *If you don’t have oat flour, it is so easy to make your own (and cheaper) at home. You just put whole oats into a blender, food processor or coffee grinder and process till you get a flour like texture.
    ** I used pop joy blue spirulina. You can find this one on my amazon shop page in foods
    ***¼ cup makes small pancakes, if you like larger ones, try using ½ cup scoop or larger! Just make sure you use a bigger spatula!

      Could you use almond flour instead? Also cows milk instead of soya milk? I can’t wait to try this. Please let me know me know xx

      I haven't tried almond flour yet! But yes, you can definitely use the cows milk to replace the soy!
