The last time that I made cornbread I tried serving it with maple syrup and it reminded me of pancakes. My next thought of course was, why not try cornmeal pancakes? With all of the fresh local blueberries available right now blueberry pancakes are often on my mind and I figured that it was the perfect time to try some blueberry cornmeal pancakes. The blueberry cornmeal pancakes came together quickly and easily and they turned out great! They were nice and golden brown on the outside and light and fluffy and filled with blueberry goodness on the inside. Blueberries and maple syrup are a great combo and I could not resist drowning these blueberry pancakes in maple syrup and topping them with a dab of melting butter to finish them off. I really enjoyed the texture that the cornmeal added to the pancakes and I am definitely going to be making cornmeal pancakes again.

August 18, 2009 at 5:06 pmIt's like adding a bit savory to the sweet. And texture too.
Hilary says
August 18, 2009 at 5:12 pmThis is a neat idea. I'm always looking for new twists on pancakes but I'd never thought of using cornmeal before. They look scrumptious.
Elle says
August 18, 2009 at 5:24 pmKevin, these look awesome! I have missed seeing your creativity. Will have to give these a try soon!
Dawn says
August 18, 2009 at 5:25 pmdon't you love that 'crunch' cornmeal lends to pancakes? love that, love this Kevin!
Cyn says
August 18, 2009 at 6:19 pmThese look DEE-licious. Reminds me of my father, who used to make pancakes with any kind of grain he could lay his hands on, including cornmeal, whole wheat flour, ground oats, buckwheat and something called triticale (sp?). The latter was something he saw in a "Star Trek" episode, and when he came across it in a health food store, he just had to have it for his Saturday morning pancakes.
It's been years, but I still often feel like something is missing unless there's a little extra texture to my pancakes.

August 18, 2009 at 7:06 pmAh ha…I just left a comment on my blog sister's blog about great minds thinking alike (our last posts were both pancake recipes). Then I find you've shared an amazing pancake recipe as well! Perhaps you're our long-lost blog brother? 😉
Looks amazing, Kevin! Definitely fork worthy.

August 19, 2009 at 6:33 amI used to love IHOP's cornmeal pancakes, but they took it off the menu. Now I can use your recipe to make something even better (=blueberries). Thanks!

September 14, 2009 at 11:04 pmThrow some mini chocolate chips in with the blueberries…it takes these pancakes to a new level of tasty.

March 2, 2010 at 4:26 pmI made these yesterday morning. They were the best pancakes I've made in awhile, and so easy to put together.
JustAddSugar says
May 2, 2011 at 3:36 pmSince finding this recipe, I have made these pancakes every few weeks, switching up the fruit or adding nuts depending on what's available.
I've decided that cornmeal makes the best pancakes, period. I'm getting to the point where I've memorized the recipe!
BIG SPOON says
August 11, 2011 at 9:05 amI made these the other morning and they were awesome! I've been toying with the idea of cornmeal pancakes – i have a bottle of prickly pear syrup that i suspect would go nicely with strawberry cornmeal pancakes.
Anyway, these were awesome drenched in my beloved maple syrup. I threw your link up on my blog.
