White Whole Wheat Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

White whole wheat flour is a great way to introduce more 100% whole grains to your family. 



The texture of this flour is similar to all purpose flour, along with it’s light color.  However, the nutritional value is equivalent to flours made from winter or spring red wheat. 



These pancakes are a great way to try white whole wheat flour.  The combination of the buttermilk & blueberry is refreshing & delicious, and the white whole wheat flour leaves the pancakes fluffy and light. 



White Whole Wheat Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Ingredients

• 2 C white whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 – 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1 heaping tsp. honey
• 2 eggs
• 3 C buttermilk
• 1 C fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together 2 C white whole wheat flour, along with 1 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsp, baking powder and about a 1/2 tsp. salt.  Stir well.

 

Then, lightly beat two eggs in a small bowl, add the honey.




Pour the eggs and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. 



Add in 3 C buttermilk. 



Whisk until combined. 



Then, fold in the blueberries.



{Alternatively, you can add the blueberries to the dry ingredients before adding the wet ones.  Tossing them in the flour mixture first will help prevent them from turning your batter a blueish-purple color}. 



Scoop the pancakes onto a hot griddle, preheated to around 350 degrees.  If your griddle is notorious for sticking, be sure to coat with with butter or olive oil as you normally would.




To scoop, I recommend using a ladle – one scoop (about 1/3 C) is the perfect size for a 3-inch pancake. 

Cook pancakes until bubbles form in the pancake.  This takes about 5 minutes.  Then, flip. 



Cook on the other side until nicely browned; an additional 2-3 minutes. 



Stack on a plate and repeat until all batter is gone. 



Serve warm with maple syrup, honey or a nice blueberry sauce too. 



Often, I’ll eat these without anything on top – the yummy blueberries inside are good enough for me! 



Your family is sure to enjoy these!
