A healthy recipe for delicious, fluffy blueberry buttermilk pancakes that you’ll have on repeat! Made with a nutritious kick of whole wheat.
My boys had been asking me for blueberry pancakes for about 5 days straight last week. Mornings before school get so hectic, it seems like all we have time for is cold cereal or breakfast bars. I ended up breaking down one morning and made them their blueberry buttermilk pancakes.
This was a spontaneous recipe I came up with and I decided to add some flax seed meal that I bought from Trader Joes a few months ago. I always hear it is so good for you. These pancakes were really delicious, you hardly even know they are healthy.
It was funny, I went a little overboard and added about two times too many blueberries in the pancake batter, so the pancakes were a bit blue. My boys looked at them funny, but ate them because they had been waiting so long for pancakes! I love that they had no idea these were actually healthy. I thought they were great with all the blueberries, but I decreased the amount in the recipe below so the pancakes don’t turn blue on you! I’ll definitely make these again, they were great
