Mixed berry and avocado pancakes

Mixed berry and avocado pancakes offer a unique twist on a classic breakfast favorite. Combining the creamy texture of avocado with the tartness of blueberries and raspberries creates a delicious and nutritious start to your day. This recipe is quite simple and can be whipped up in no time.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocado: In a large mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the beaten egg and buttermilk to the mashed avocado. Whisk together until well combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the self-raising flour, sugar, and baking powder together.
4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the avocado mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Prepare Berries: Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries, taking care not to crush them. Add the lemon zest and melted butter, folding to incorporate evenly.
6. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of additional butter to the skillet to coat.
7. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate, and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
9. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with extra berries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your delicious mixed berry and avocado pancakes!

Tips:

- Ensure the avocado is ripe for a smooth batter.

- Do not overmix the batter to keep your pancakes fluffy.

- Cook the pancakes on a medium heat to avoid burning.

- Gently fold the berries into the batter to prevent them from bursting.

- Use a non-stick pan and a little bit of butter to avoid sticking.

- Top the pancakes with extra berries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for added flavor and visual appeal.

These mixed berry and avocado pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. The combination of creamy avocado and juicy berries creates a delightful flavor and texture that is sure to become a breakfast staple. Enjoy them with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for an extra special treat.
