Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes


As I've mentioned before, I am a sucker for pancakes. I usually try to make something a little different, but sometimes, I just want a good old-fashioned blueberry pancake. This is my go to recipe. Not a lot of sugar or oil and you can cook them with fat-free cooking spray. I love the flavor of these so much I eat them by hand, no butter or syrup. Enjoy!

First, heat your skillet to 375 degrees. You know it's ready when you can sprinkle water droplets on it and they sizzle.

Whisk together the egg, milk, brown sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder and salt until smooth. Gently stir in both flours until just blended - don't over stir. There are two ways to add blueberries to your pancakes, you and pour the batter onto the skillet and place them individually within each pancake before flipping them over, or you can gently stir them into the overall batter. It is faster to stir them into the batter but I prefer the placement method when I have time. Otherwise, my pancakes turn an unusual blue color rather than being tan with blueberries. But the choice is yours. For the ones in the picture, I went the fast route and stirred them in - thus the blue color.

Pour pancake batter onto the skillet in 1/3 cup increments. Flip the pancakes over when you see bubbles surfacing all over the batter.

Ingredients:
1 large egg
3/4 cup white flour
1/4 cup wheat flour
3/4 cup milk
1 T. brown sugar
2 T. vegetable oil
3 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh blueberries
