Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Griddle or Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Neutral Cooking Oil, like avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable
  • 2 cups Lowfat Buttermilk (475 mL) (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 maple syrup in a mixing bowl with a wire whisk. Beat in the 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!)
