Place all ingredients except for flour and baking powder into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
Start the blender on its lowest speed, then increase to Variable 4. Blend for 5 seconds until ingredients are combined.
Add the flour and baking powder to the Vitamix container with the wet ingredients, and secure the lid. Pulse 10-12 times on Variable 5 until ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour batter onto a preheated and lightly greased fry pan and cook until bubbles appear in centre of pancakes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
