This morning, I had pancakes on my mind!
For some reason, I was wide awake at about 4 AM this morning! I actually went to be a little later than normal, so I have no idea what the heck was going on.
Instead of laying in bed and wasting time, I started my day an hour early. It was a little weird to be running so early, but it was nice to have the gym all to myself.
Since I was done running around 6 AM, I still had about 2 hours to kill before work.
It felt like a weekend!
Except for the fact that I had to go to work 
When I think of pancakes, the first thing that pops into my head is blueberries.
My staple fruit for breakfast is a banana, but I packed a peanut butter and banana bagel sandwich for lunch. Furthermore, variety is the spice of life!
This recipe is easy, quick, delicious, and doesn’t require any special ingredients. It makes a great breakfast if you have a few extra minutes in the morning.
The Best Blueberry Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 TBSP baking powder
- 1/2 TBSP baking soda
- 1/4 TBSP salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen will also work)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 TBSP melted butter
- 1 TBSP honey
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be a little lumpy.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Heat your pan (I like to use cast iron) to medium high heat. Grease with oil or butter.
- Pour about 1/3 of a cup of batter onto the skillet. When the pancake is goledn brown and bubbles start to form, flip with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with maple syrup (or blueberry syrup like I did).
What is your favorite kind of pancake?
Please say blueberry.

Yum. blueberry is my fave! second, is banana. I love to top my pancakes with maple and almond butter.
These look like the perfect mixture of crispy outside and light inside – plain pancakes just won’t do!

Hi,
I work with Kamut® International. Your pancake recipe looks fabulous! We think it would taste even better if made with Kamut® wheat though.
Check out our website; http://www.kamut.com. Hope to see you there soon!
Thanks,

LOL this reminded me of the dream I had about us making blueberry pancakes.
Blueberry pancakes are definitely my favorite… apple cinnamon pancakes or banana pancakes are really good too, but blueberry beats them both without a doubt. That first photo looks SO good.

You had a dream about us making blueberry pancakes?
Should I be flattered or creeped out? LOL.
LOL. I told you about it… I had it one of the nights I was there and you said you didn’t have any blueberries the next morning. Since it was a pathetically normal dream, there’s probably no need for being creeped out… you can be flattered that I have a dream about your cooking LOL.

I can’t imagine having 2 hours to kill before work… but I can imagine that I would use the time to make pancakes! My favorite is bacon-banana. With Peanut butter syrup.

I always associate pancakes with blueberries or chocolate chips! These look awesome. Isn’t it the best feeling being done with your workout so early?
I would love to say blueberry, but mine is definitely peanut butter/chocolate chips with banana. What can I say? I love me some elvis pancakes
I love waking up early sometimes because if you wake up before your alarm, you definitely feel more refreshed. You aren’t in the middle of REM so I think getting up and not laying around is the best thing to do! Plus, you really do feel just more productive!

I love blueberry pancakes, they actually are my favourite. Blueberry buttermilk, they taste so good. I love putting fruit jelly toppings on my pancakes too, or butter with pancake syrup. Pancakes are a great way to start off the day. Thanks for sharing

Blueberry pancakes are my favorite hands down. They remind me of the movie Blue Crush when she gets to order blueberry waffles from room service after hooking up with the football player. lol. Yes silly reference but it is one of my favorite movies!

I’m not much of a pancake person (I grew up eating their flat cousins: crepes), but if this kind of fuel leads someone to complete nearly 2-hour run by 6am, I’m making the switch!
