Method

1. Combine the first three ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Place all the remaining ingredients into a blender, except for 1 tablespoon of the algae oil. Blend for about one minute, or until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk until combined.
2. Add the remaining tablespoon of algae oil into a large skillet, and warm over medium heat. Pour the pancake batter (about ½ cup per pancake) into the hot skillet. Cook for several minutes on each side, or until the underside of the pancake is golden brown.
