and what about the syrup... what a great idea! Let me know if you make these- so far I haven't but I can't wait ... maybe this weekend? Enjoy!
(oh and you know they have to be somewhat healthy because I found this on the What to Expect website ;) )
Sunday Blueberry Pancakes
Whole-wheat pancakes satisfy early morning appetites.
These delicious pancakes have a nuttier, heartier texture and are darker in color than their white-flour cousins. Look for organic frozen blueberries — they're smaller and deliver a sweet burst of flavor. For a tasty syrup to pour over these pancakes, warm some all-fruit preserves in the microwave until melted. Stir in fruit juice to desired consistency.Ingredients
1 cup whole-wheat flour½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup old-fashioned oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
¼ cup plus 1 Tbsp canola oil, divided
¼ cup white grape juice concentrate
¼ tsp vanilla
1½ cups buttermilk
1½ cups frozen (or fresh) blueberries
Instructions
- In large bowl, combine both flours, oats, baking powder, and soda. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, ¼ cup of the oil, juice concentrate, and vanilla. Add buttermilk and egg mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; batter will have lumps. Gently fold in blueberries, taking care not to break them.
- Warm 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook pancakes, 2 at a time, using ¼ cup of the batter per pancake. Cook 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes warm with butter and maple or fruit syrup (see above), or as desired. Pancakes can be frozen, tightly wrapped, for up to 2 weeks. Microwave or warm in oven to reheat.
