Blueberry season is sadly almost over, and I’ve been buying them every chance I get. Yesterday I got these fat, juicy blueberries and immediately knew I was going to make blueberry pancakes this morning. There’s something about hot, fluffy, vanilla-flavored pancakes enveloping gooey, juicy, sweet blueberries that is just so good, so comforting. These whole-wheat blueberry pancakes are so good when warm, straight off the griddle, that no maple syrup, and certainly no butter, are needed.
Serving size: 3 pancakes
Makes 6 servings
New quantity:
Total time: 20 minutes
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups white whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh baking powder
2 large eggs
2 cups reduced-fat milk
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Cooking spray
1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, maple syrup, oil and vanilla, whisking after each addition.
3. Pour the liquids onto the flour mixture. Mix with a spatula, just until combined. Don’t over mix – allow batter to remain lumpy.
4. Heat a double-burner griddle, or 2 large skillets, over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Spray with nonstick spray. Pour 1/4-cup measuring cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. By now the batter should have thickened, so pancakes should remain fairly contained rather than spreading too much.
5. Scatter a few blueberries on top of each pancake, gently pressing them in with a spatula:
6. Cook the pancakes 2-3 minutes on the first side. When bubbles begin to appear on their surface and the edges seem a bit dry and curl away from the griddle, it’s time to flip them to the other side. Cook them on the other side 2-3 more minutes, until puffed, golden brown and set.
