Low Histamine Cinnamon-Cardamom Blueberry Oven Pancake
Imagine a dramatic, puffed-up pancake emerging from the oven with golden, crispy edges, jammy blueberries tucked throughout, and the warm perfume of Ceylon cinnamon and cardamom filling the kitchen — this is weekend breakfast at its most impressive. The whole thing comes together in one skillet, which means minimal cleanup and maximum payoff for four people. Keeping histamine levels in check at breakfast can feel limiting, especially when so many sweet recipes lean on fermented ingredients, aged dairy, or processed syrups, but every ingredient here is straightforward and fresh. Pasteurized eggs, whole milk, and fresh blueberries are the backbone, and the spice blend is built from pure ground spices rather than blends with hidden additives. The batter is whisked together in minutes, poured into a butter-coated skillet that's already hot from the oven, and baked until it billows up beautifully around the edges. A light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of pure maple syrup at the table keeps the finishing touches just as clean. Serve it straight from the skillet the moment it comes out — it deflates quickly, and that first slice is absolutely worth rushing for.

4 servings
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 3 large pasteurized eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/4 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
For serving
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Put 2 tbsp of the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and place the skillet in the oven while it preheats.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the pasteurized eggs until smooth. Add the milk, flour, sugar, Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain — it will be thin and pourable.
