As I’ve posted before, we love blueberry pancakes! Two of my nieces were here playing today and I made WW Blueberry Pancakes for breakfast. But I toyed with the recipe a little and created a new favorite pancake for the kids with a runner’s variation for me. ENJOY!
Healthier & Deliciousier Pancakes
1 c . WW flour
3 T. wheat germ
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 lg. ripe banana, mashed
1 egg
1 – 1 1/4 c. low-fat (1%) milk
1 c. blueberries (if frozen, thaw)
Vegetable oil (for skillet)
Whisk together dry ingredients. Set aside. Mash banana until non-clumpy and somewhat juicy. Start with 1 c. milk and whisk together with egg and mashed banana until blended. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add a little more milk until batter is proper consistency. Fold in blueberries or sprinkle blueberries over pancakes as they cook.
Heat oil in skillet on low-medium until hot. Pour batter to preferred size, 1/4-1/2c. is a good place to start. Cook until bubbly in the center of pancake. Flip pancake and cook 1-2 more minutes.
My New Favorite Runner’s Pancake:
Prepare as stated above, but omit blueberries. Cool pancakes slightly then slather with peanut butter & honey. YUM!
Yum is right! We make lots of variations of 100% whole wheat pancakes but haven’t tried using a mashed banana–great idea!
It was very good! Thanks for your comment!
Yum! These look fantastic! I love the way wheat germ and WW flour give pancakes a deeper, nutty flavor. Nice idea to sub bananas for the oil too. I’m going to have to try this recipe!
I really like the wheat germ as well & it adds some great nutrients as well. This is actually a variation on a basic pancake recipe my mom has used forever and we’ve never added oil to the pancake or any other fat! I added the banana for flavor and sweetness alone! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Have a great day!
love the first version – am not a runner so do not have to do without the blueberries
Either way, they are good. I figured the peanut butter and honey might not go so well with the blueberries so I omitted them for the running version. I hope you enjoy them!
These look great! I’m always looking for a new, delicious pancake recipe. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! The kids and I really enjoyed them yesterday. I didn’t even add butter or syrup.
my brother loves blueberry pancakes also, but i want to try yours now, as they are made with WW
Enjoy! They are very yummy and so healthy.
i am pretty sure my tummy will say yes to this!!
Oh my goodness, I want those pancakes!
p.s.
I didn’t know blueberries grew in OK. Interesting.:)
Yes! The boys and I have already been picking twice and plan to go again tomorrow. We have blueberries, raspberries, blackberries & strawberries here. And the fresh ones are SO much better!
I love pancakes for breakfast on the weekend, but pancakes are not an easy thing to get here, so if I want them I must make them. This recipe sounds delicious and easy and I already have all the ingredients. I’m really looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks!
Very easy and so yum and healthy too. I hope you enjoy your pancakes.
Oooh… these really do look deliciousier than any other blueberry pancake recipe
They are yum! The banana adds a nice sweetness & flavor. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Have a great day!
Happy to see a homemade WW pancake recipe…must try it out. I like the use of wheat germ, just the right level of nuttiness…blueberry and banana pancakes are favorites around here:)
I try to sneak it in when I can.
It holds such valuable nutrients!
Yum!
We love pancakes around here in any form…a wonderful, filling comfort food.
That looks good. I love blueberries…
They were very nice. I’m pretty big on blueberries myself. Have a great day! Thanks for your comment.
Looks delicious ! I love berries and will make this pancake, definitely (^_^)
Thank you for sharing (^_^)
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
