Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes are a healthy and delicious twist on the classic pancake. Made with whole wheat flour and loaded with juicy blueberries, these pancakes are perfect for a nutritious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • Whole Wheat Flour: 1 cup – The base of the pancakes, providing a hearty, nutty flavor.
  • Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons – Helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – Enhances the natural sweetness of the blueberries and balances the flavor.
  • Milk: 3/4 cup – Adds moisture to the batter and helps create a smooth consistency.
  • Egg: 1 large – Binds the ingredients together and helps give the pancakes structure.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: 2 tablespoons – Adds a touch of natural sweetness to the batter.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Adds depth of flavor and a pleasant aroma.
  • Blueberries: 1/2 cup – Fresh or frozen, providing bursts of sweetness and color.
  • Butter or Oil: For greasing the pan – Ensures the pancakes cook evenly and don’t stick.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, honey (or syrup), and vanilla extract.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Grease the skillet or griddle with a small amount of butter or oil.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; don’t overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Finishing Touches: Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as extra blueberries, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

  • If the pancakes are too thick, add a little more milk to thin out the batter to your desired consistency.
  • Make sure the pan is at the right temperature: too hot, and they’ll burn; too cool, and they won’t cook evenly.
  • For a crispier edge, add a little extra butter to the pan while cooking.
