Super Healthy Blueberry Pancakes

This is a modified version of a pancake recipe that I found in a cooking magazine. These hearty pancakes have become a family favorite. We like to top our pancakes with peanut butter and syrup.


1 ⅓ c whole-wheat flour
⅔ c oat bran
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 ¾ c buttermilk
½ c mashed ripe bananas
2 T butter, melted
1 egg
1 T maple syrup
½ t vanilla
¾ c frozen blueberries

Preheat electric griddle to 325°. Combine flour, oat bran, baking powder and baking soda in a larger bowl. Set aside.

Whisk together buttermilk, mashed bananas, melted butter, egg, maple syrup and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just until lightly moistened. Do not over-mix. Fold in blueberries.

Spray griddle with cooking spray. For each pancake, spoon about ½ c batter onto hot griddle and spread to make 4-inch circles. Cook until undersides are lightly browned. Flip pancakes and cook until other sides are lightly browned, 2-3 more minutes.
