I just could not let blueberry season slip away without making blueberry pancakes at least once. Luckily there were still a lot of blueberries at the farmers market on the weekend and I picked some up. For a recipe, I started with the banana buttermilk pancakes that I had made a while ago and really liked. I have been trying to work more whole wheat flour into my baking lately so I swapped some in for some of the all purpose flour. I replaced the remaining all purpose flour with some ground rolled oats as I had done in the blueberry maple oatmeal muffins that I had just made. The blueberry oatmeal pancakes turned out pretty good. They were a bit more difficult to flip than normal pancakes but they had a nice light texture and they were really moist. I served the pancakes with some maple syrup, blueberries and pecans as garnish. I enjoyed the pancakes so mush that I made them again on the weekend. The second time I made them I enjoyed them with the remaining blueberry maple syrup from the blueberry and shrimp salad from earlier in the week.
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (ground in food processor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 overripe banana (mashed)
- 1/2 cup blueberries
directions
- Mix the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix the maple syrup, buttermilk, egg, butter and banana in another bowl.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients.
- Mix in the blueberries.
- Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and cook until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Well, it appears that you had no problem flipping them at all! They’re so deliciously deep golden brown and smooth, I love it 🙂 The maple syrup cascading all over it is killing me!
i thought about pancakes all weekend…and didn’t even make any. these look so yummy.

Beautiful pancakes!!
This post is a reminder for me to stock up on some blueberries and freeze them … I gonna miss the blueberry season!~
I try to steer clear of pancakes because they are oh-so-good but bad for you, … if I had Canadian maple syrup I would make them all the time.
kev, i think you can print a blueberry cookbook already 🙂
You are making me so hungry. The pancakes look perfectly cooked. Another fantastic photo and recipe.
This post has made me late for work! YUMMO! is all I have to say!
Sounds like a great breakfast recipe Kevin!
Just in time for my breakfast Kevin! That looks delicious and perfect for keep using those blueberries!
Yum! You must be all blueberried out by now! They look delish.
I’m coming over for breakfast, if you serve those!! :0) Oh an they look perfect – no signs of “flipping issues”!
Your pancakes looks great. Once again I have a ton of blueberries on hand and need to find some recipes for them. Thanks for this one!
blueberry pancakes are the best! i love your healthy version of it!
LOL – you totally do what I do. When you’ve gotta get rid of something – the next few meals have that main ingredient. I bought a bunch of shrimp and fish this past weekend – can we just say that seafood is on the menu for the next few days – lol.

We make wheat and oat blueberry pancakes…they are so yummy!
Great looking picture!
I will be making these next weekend! They look wonderful! And your eclairs turned out great!
I’m glad you didn’t skip the pancake recipe! This is a beautiful breakfast that I’d happily eat for every meal. Same goes for your mango and banana!
I cannot make pancakes right….I always burn and they come out horrible. I still have hopes that someday I’ll make nice ones like yours…
Oh my, the oatmeal almost makes this healthy….I would love to have some for breakfast tomorrow!
Beautiful! I saw this at TastSpotting and came to check out your oatmeal pancakes, as I had made some too. Your blog is great, as are your photos and the recipes look delish!
I love these healthy blueberry pancakes! I’ve never thought to put oatmeal in pancakes, I can’t wait to try these!!
i love love love blueberry pancakes, and your use of oatmeal is wonderful. these look downright decadent. 🙂
Kevin, you photograph of the pancakes is so tantalizing. Love the recipe of your pancakes , i have some blueberries in the fridge, think i’ll halve your recipe n try it out 🙂
These sound amazing.

Cheers,

Delicious! The pecans on top are calling my name.
They look like they turned out perfectly. I too cooked with blueberries over the weekend. I am sad to see the blueberries go out of season as they are my favorite berry treat.
Great golden brown color. Looks great to me.
These look so great and I like how you incorporated whole wheat flour into them.
Okay, something is not fair here. My blueberry season amounted to 3 handfuls of blueberries!
Kevin, those look absolutely perfect!
I like how you topped the pancakes with nuts.
Oh Kevin, you’re killing me! This is EXACTLY what I would order for breakfast. And I love the nuttiness {and fiber!} the whole wheat flour and oats add.
Beautiful photo. That pancakes is worth waking up to!!!
Your photos are all so drool worthy, but this one is right up there!!!!
Wow, I have been craving blueberry pancakes recently. They really are the best. These look delicious!
I certainly would get up any day for these beautiful pancakes!

This sounds like a tasty change from the usual style of pancakes I’m used to (e.g. including whole wheat, oats, maple in the batter, etc). They look great!
These look great, Kevin. And healthy too! I think I will try this base, soon. I am horrible at flipping pancakes/omelets…pretty much anything 🙂
Possibly the best use for blueberries, aside from just eating them plain, is dropping them into pancakes. Looks incredible!
MAN, I need to make pancakes more often. These look totally heavenly – great shot!
this was the PERFECT recipe! not only were the pancakes light and moist as you said, but they’re incredibly healthy too! i substituted yogurt and a bit of water in the place of buttermilk, and they still turned out wonderfully. thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us! 😀
i think i know exactly what i want to have for breakfast now…thank you! ^ ^
Love this recipe Kevin. Thanks for the share 🙂
