Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes

River Eastwood

These are gorgeous.... fresh blueberries add bursts of juicy blue goodness.

I'm a huge fan of berries... when they're on sale. Buying berries can be really pricey and I avoid purchasing them any time that they aren't on special. Once berries hit a sale, I buy a ton. Whatever I can't use fresh, I just freeze. I almost always have berries on hand that didn't cost me a large amount of money. These pancakes were made for dinner after I found big 2lb containers of blueberries for only $3 each!  I ate those blueberries for 4 days straight and loved every minute of it. Try these pancakes out the next time that you find beautiful fresh blueberries at a good price.

RECIPE

BLUEBERRY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup Organic Buckwheat Pancake & Waffle Mix
  • 3 Tbsp PB2 with Premium Chocolate
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed
  • 1/3 Cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 1/2 Cup Banana
  • 1 Cup Soymilk
  • 1/3 Cup 2% Greek Yogurt

Instructions:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 2 tbsp of water and mix.
  2. Place the pancake mix in the bowl and mix with enough water to make a medium thin batter. It should easily fall off a spoon but not be runny. 
  3. Mix the blueberries into the batter.
  4. Heat a large non stick pan to medium high. Coat the pan with cooking spray once hot.
  5. Spoon the batter into about 4in rounds into the pan. 
  6. Let pancakes cook until bubbles appear and pop. Flip once this occurs.
  7. In the meantime, mix the PB2 with premium chocolate with enough water to make a sauce.
  8. Slice up the banana.
  9. To plate... stack the pancakes alternating with sauce and banana slices. 
  10. Serve with greek yogurt and a glass of soy milk. *If you are Vegan or Plant Based, eliminate the greek yogurt or use a non-dairy version.
