INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (for gluten-free, sub 1:1 all-purpose gluten free baking flour)

2. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, Hemp oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Gently stir in yogurt and milk, whisking until combined. Add dry ingredients to bowl of wet ingredients. Stir in blueberries here if using.
3. Heat griddle or use large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or spray with a high-heat oil (such as avocado). TIP: Make sure skillet is hot before starting.
