Gluten-Free Blueberry Collagen Pancakes

Ingredients

Directions 

  1. In a medium to large glass bowl, mix the milk or almond milk, vanilla extract, butter, or coconut oil, until well combined.

  1. Heat a large pan or skillet and grease with butter or coconut oil. Turn to medium heat.  
  1. Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Top with 5 to 7 fresh blueberries.  
  1. Cook each side for about 2 minutes.  
  1. While pancakes are cooking in a saucepan 1 ½ cups blueberries, 2 tablespoons syrup, and 2 tablespoons water and put over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Cook until berries burst, and the mixture has turned into a runny jam consistency. About 3 to 5 minutes.  
  1. Serve pancakes with blueberry syrup on top and maybe some whipped cream for added flavor and fun!  
     

Enjoy!

Highlights  

Check out the ingredient benefits for your skin!  

  • Almond Milk – contains a rich source of the antioxidant Vitamin E, as well as other flavonoids. These antioxidants prevent sun damage and wrinkles by removing free radicals and toxins on the skin. Almond milk is also good  for acne-prone skin, as it is also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne. 
  • Vanilla – with its anti-inflammatory  and anti-bacterial properties, vanilla can help to soothe and calm irritated skin. Vanilla has been used to reduce skin infections and in wound healing. Vanilla contains Vanillin, a polyphenol with powerful anti-oxidant properties. 
  • Coconut Oil – bolsters your skin’s protective barrier, locking moisture inside and keeping skin supple and hydrated. Reduces inflammation. Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for irritated, chafed skin. Bonus, it also increases collagen production. 
  • Blueberries – are high in vitamin C and vitamin E which helps fade away blemishes like hyperpigmentation, sun, and dark spots. Blueberries act as an exfoliating agent and take away any sort of discoloration on your skin. This brightens your skin and evens out your complexion, taking away any dullness you may see. 
  • Maple Syrup – like raw honey, maple syrup supports lower skin inflammation, blemishes, dryness, and redness. Jam-packed with antioxidants and nutrients, maple syrup helps your skin to retain its moisture. Swap that refined sugar for maple syrup and enjoy this natural hydrator in your daily regimen.
