Is there a better way to start the day than with the morning blues? Blueberries, that is.
For years I purchased various brands of boxed pancake mix with the belief that adding water, oil and an egg was the easiest, and least expensive, way to make pancakes. It was not surprising that most of the brands have a similar flavor. It wasn’t until I started mixing my own batter from scratch that I realized that most boxed versions would leave a chemical, or artificial, taste afterwards.
I became creative with my batters by using different flours, adding spices (like cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest, or allspice), and liquids (water, milk, or buttermilk). Depending on my hankering for variety, I would add fruit (diced apple, blueberries, chopped strawberries, fresh pineapple chunks, etc). Our family favorite remains to be blueberry pancakes.
When we cook from scratch, we gift ourselves the opportunity to be creative. Who says cooking from scratch has to be expensive or hard to do?
This is the buttermilk pancake recipe I use as a base. Enjoy your morning blues!

I've been hungry for blueberries all week. Now I have a reason to go get some! Will have to vegan up the recipe (egg substitute and plant based milk) but I bet they come out awesome!
Sounds wonderful, Barb. When you have a moment, please submit your recipe so others can try your version.
Enjoy those blueberries!
Love blueberries & pineapple - healing healthy foods - TY 🙂
With pineapple? Oh my! That sounds amazing. I will have to try that next time.
Thank you, Susan. Enjoy.
This looks delicious! Will have to try them. I am partial to blueberries too. ?
They are, Kris! Enjoy.
I love to make blueberry pancakes, especially on Saturday morning. I make them gluten and dairy free though. I also add some gluten free granola right before flipping on the griddle. Adding it last helps keep the granola from getting soggy.
Great idea! I had not thought of adding granola. I can imagine it adds a tremendous amount of flavor and crunch to the pancakes. Thanks for sharing.
