How to Make Amazing Light Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg (or ¼ cup egg whites), 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional), and ½ cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt recommended).
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as warm maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
