Very Blueberry-y Pancakes
Good morning! A quick breakfast recipe seems like a great way to start a Friday to me. Later today, we'll be posting info on our Operation Beautiful giveaway (to celebrate reaching over 2,000 subscribers) and new details about the Foodie Book Club. So, check back for all of that.
Right now: Pencil these pancakes into your weekend plans.
I got the idea to make these blue beauties because I had some thawed blueberries just hanging out in our fridge. We recently got a dehydrator (from CSN stores -- review soon!), and I wanted to make fruit leather yesterday with them (the blueberries). However, we don't have any applesauce at the moment, which is a critical ingredient. Execute plan B!
To puree, just throw blueberries in your food processor. Then stir together with your almond milk.
Very pretty:
And the end result is even prettier!
VERY BLUEBERRY-Y PANCAKES
What you'll need . . .
- 1/2 cup blueberry puree
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 cup wheat pastry flour
- 1/8 cup canola oil
- 1 egg (we used 1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill replacer with 3 tablespoons water)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Handful or two frozen blueberries
Method . . .
- Mix everything except the frozen blueberries together in a blender (or just with a spoon -- that works, too).
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Make as you would "normal" pancakes.
- Top with maple-peanut butter (it's just equal parts maple syrup and crunchy peanut butter).
What did you eat for breakfast this morning? We tend to go a little over-the-top on Fridays as a celebration (you can check out more of our favorite breakfast recipes here). Usually our meal involves chocolate, but these blueberry pancakes really hit the spot.

I had a yogurt bowl for breakfast but I would much rather have these pancakes!
My husband makes us some sort of pancake almost every Saturday, I'll have to add these to his pancake recipe collection! He is a blueberry freak so I'm sure it will get pushed to the top! =)
Yum! Pancakes are always a good thing.
Today, I had oatmeal with banana, pb, and dark chocolate chunks to celebrate Friday :)
Those pancakes look amazing! Today I had a slice of my home made date, carrot and walnut loaf cake topped with apple blueberry puree (ahem, baby food!) vanilla protein yoghurt and summer berries, twas delish!
Awww, you made me hungry! It's 7am here in sunny Las Vegas, so breakfast is waiting an hour or so.
Those look delish! Great pics :-)
My blog has "never" in the name too! I can't tell you how much I love your posts and your take on running / health / life.
You wren't kidding - those are *very* blueberry-y.
I had granola - Woot! I'm a little ::cough:: habitual, so I am actually looking forward to the less-hot temperatures when I can have oatmeal for breakfast. I don't like to have to think about my food in the morning, so easy-peasy is where it's at for me.
These look so good! The blueberries give the batter a beautiful color, I wonder how these would taste with buckwheat flour--buckwheat pancakes are some of my favorite!
these look sooo yummy! i'd like to make them for breakfast tomorrow. how many servings does the recipe make?
Lauren -- Important part I left out. Well, it served two this morning -- three nice pancakes each. But I could see this serving 3.
I am a new reader and am thoroughly impressed that you and your husband seem to find time to make and eat breakfast together during the work-week. Can I ask what time you have to get up to do that!
Nicole :) Well. My work schedule just went to "regular" hours (9-5) this week. We were on "summer" hours (8-4) . . . so I've been getting up at 6 with an extra hour to kill. Stephen is a teacher, so he's not back at work yet from summer break. This isn't totally a normal happening! However, I know a couple pancake recipes by heart . . . I can whip 'em up pretty fast!
Blueberry pancakes look great. I love the color, and congrats on getting a dehydrator!! You will love it.
I eat pancakes EVERY morning!!! They're protein pancakes w/ almond butter - no flour, no syrup! But they're my favorite part of the day, except my coffee!! :)
Ohhhh my gawd these look ridiculous. I'm drooling. You are so dang creative it kills me!
We made your pancakes last sunday and they were perfect! We made them gluten-free as well. Heres a pic!
