There’s something about pancakes that just puts me in a cheerful mood. When I think of pancakes, I think of brunch. When I think of brunch, I think of a relaxing summer day. I don’t know what it is, but pancakes make me happy. I’ve been craving pancakes for a while so I finally decided to make some yesterday morning. I made a few substitutions to this recipe as well such as using honey instead of sugar. I used fresh blueberries in this recipe too. None of that frozen stuff. =)
Very Berry Blueberry Pancakes
What you need:
pancake/baking mix (I thought about getting the ingredients separately for this but sometimes, it’s just cheaper and less time consuming to get the mix)
2 eggs
honey
Pam butter spray (You can use real butter but I wanted to try to reduce the calories for this recipe so I used the canned spray)
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh strawberries – cut into small pieces (this goes on top of everything once it’s done)
1 cup milk (I use 2% milk)
1 cup powdered sugar (This is to top the pancakes so you can use more or less than 1 cup. Entirely up to you)
1. Mix the pancake mix, eggs, milk and honey until the mixture smooth and has texture. Make sure there are no clumps in the mixture.
2. Once the initial mixture is complete, add in the blueberries. The reason you don’t add this initially is because you want to keep the berries intact. Do not overly mix this.
3. Heat your pan and spray the Pam butter.
4. Use a measuring cup (or something similar) to scoop out the pancake mix and pour in the middle of the pan. The mixture should fan out.
5. Flip pancake and spray the butter on the other side. This prevents it from getting too brown.
6. Stack blueberry pancakes and use a strainer to add powdered sugar on top.
7. Garnish with fresh strawberries and more blueberries. You can add maple syrup or honey on the pancakes if you want it sweeter. Otherwise, the powdered sugar and fruits should be enough. Happy breakfasting! =)
