35ml Specially Selected Canadian Grade A Maple Syrup

Put the blueberries, orange juice, brown sugar and ground cinnamon into a small saucepan.

Put the almond drink, coconut oil, vanilla essence and maple syrup in a bowl together and whisk.

Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the almond drink mixture and, with a wooden spoon, draw in the flour and mix until you have a smooth batter, then allow to rest for a few minutes. 

Heat some oil in a frying pan. Add 4 tablespoons of the batter in the pan, spoon into a circle and fry each side for a few minutes.

Transfer to an oven to keep the pancakes warm while you cook the rest.
