  • 1 egg
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1.25 cups milk, whole or dairy free
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for frying

Instructions 

Directions - For the pancakes

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
    1.5 cups all purpose flour, 1 egg, 3.5 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon white sugar, pinch of kosher salt, 1.25 cups milk, 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Heat a pan on medium heat and 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter to the pan to form each pancake. Add a handful of blueberries to the uncooked side. Cook 1-2 (or however many your pan allows) pancakes at a time, keeping ~2 inches between the pancakes.
    1 cup blueberries
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, until there are small bubbles that begin to form. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on each side.
  • Repeat for remaining pancakes, making sure to add more oil before each new pancake.

Directions - For the blueberry maple compote

  • Add the blueberries and sugar to a saucepan. Cook on medium high heat for 2 minutes, until the sugar begins to dissolve.
    1 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Once the sugar is dissolved, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes,
  • Add the maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
    1/4 cup maple syrup, pinch of salt
  • Immersion blend if desired (I like this for the texture), or serve as is.

Directions - For the turkey bacon

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Line the turkey bacon on a parchment paper lined sheet tray.
    6 pieces of turkey bacon
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until your desired consistency (another 5-7 minutes if you like it more crisp).
