Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

Whole wheat blueberry pancakes are light, fluffy and made in just one bowl.  Packed with fresh or frozen blueberries it’s a healthy, delicious breakfast you can feel good about.

Well good morning friends.  Pull up a chair and join us for some blueberry pancakes.  We’ve got plenty.

Pancakes were 100% not on the agenda today.

But I somehow caught wind of the fact that January 28 is National Blueberry Pancake Day.  I have no idea who comes up with these days, but blueberry pancakes were all I could think about all morning.

And then I promised Clara and Molly a “treat” and suddenly we were all thinking about pancakes.

These pancakes are a favorite around here.  They first appeared on the blog years ago, but needed a bit of a refresh.

Made in one bowl entirely with whole wheat flour, they are healthy, hearty and still have that light and fluffy texture that any great pancake should have.

And packing them full of blueberries is always a good idea.

Happy National Blueberry Pancake Day!  Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 cup packed Light Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup Canola Oil
• 2 cups (475 mL) Buttermilk (see note)
• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (or use white whole wheat flour)
• 2 Tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

• Beat eggs and brown sugar in a mixing bowl with a wire whisk. Beat in canola oil and buttermilk until evenly combined. Add dry ingredients all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
• Ladle batter onto a hot, oiled griddle or skillet until bubbles form on the surface. Scatter blueberries over the top. Flip and cook until both sides are golden brown. Serve immediately, with butter and syrup.

Notes

Don't have buttermilk? Replace the 2 cups buttermilk with 1.5 cups skim milk + 1 Tablespoon white vinegar + 1/2 cup plain yogurt. (The yogurt and the vinegar give the milk substance and mimic the sour flavor of the buttermilk - it works great!)
