Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

[heart_this] · Sep 1, 2008 · 60 Comments

Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

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.

    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!

    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.
