In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: self-rising flour, sugar, and salt if used.
Whisk in the almond milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract if used. Whisk until it forms a thick batter.
Fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries and gently stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate them.
Heat a large pancake griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and swirl the pan to coat.
When the oil is warm, drop some dollop of batter about 2 tablespoons per fritter, onto the warm pan. Swirl the pan to bring the oil in contact with the fritters.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes, or until the sides are fried and set, then flip them and cook them on the other side for 1 minute or until fully cooked in the middle. Add more oil as you go as the fritters absorb some of the oil.
Transfer them to a cooling rack or plate covered with absorbent paper to absorb the excess oil from the cooked fritters. Repeat the steps above, rewarming some oil before adding more batter to the pan. Keep repeating until you run out of batter. I made 20 fritters with this batter, with 5 per serving.
Serve warm with a dust of powdered sugar.
Notes
Note 1: Any milk work in the recipe, soy milk is a great to boost the proteins in the recipe.Note 2: Or 2 cups of all-purpose flour + 4 teaspoons of baking powder. I didn't try self-rising gluten-free flour and I can't guarantee this will work at all. The recipe will not work with almond flour or oat flour. Note 3: You can leave out the sugar to decrease the sugar per serve. You can also use refined sugar-free crystal sweeteners like coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar. Note 4: Any oil with a light flavor works. Avocado oil is a great healthy option if you enjoy its taste.Storage: Store leftover fritters in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container. Freeze up to 1 month in Ziploc bags and thaw in the fridge the day before. Rewarm in a warm pan, or microwave for 1 minute.Serving: Serve with powdered sugar, nut butters, jam, or a glaze like my vegan royal icing recipe.
