Freeze-able Blueberry Pancakes!

Ever wonder where your brain is in the mornings?


We all do. 


It's called "Busy Woman Syndrome" and there is no cure. 


Well, except for marrying a rich man and having a nanny for your children so that you can leisurely sit by the pool all day.


We can't all do that. 


So then there are the rest of us who, for some reason, feel the need to fill every millisecond of our day with work, family, and extracurricular activities, which leaves little time for ourselves. 


There is nothing wrong with this. As long as you have a nice balance. 


If you don't, run away with the nearest available rich man. 


I'm only kidding. 


I digress...I am usually not awake in the mornings until I've been out of the bed for AT LEAST an hour. Don't mess with me until that hour is finished or you'll be sorry you did. 


The first thing I always think is "I can't wait to get back in this snuggly bed." 


The second thing I always think is "What's for breakfast?"


In most peoples' case, breakfast is quick...something scarfed down before running out to work. 


This recipe is an incredibly easy one, which freezes well, therefor eliminating the "quick, unhealthy" breakfast options! WOOHOO!!


You can add any fruit to these pancakes, although I prefer bananas or blueberries. This recipe was originally adopted from Williams-Sonoma Breakfast Cookbook. 


Ingredients:


2 C Whole Wheat Flour (I love King Arthur's Whole Wheat)

2 tsp Baking Powder


1 1/2 tsp baking soda


1/2 tsp salt


1 T honey


2 large eggs, beaten

1 3/4 C milk


2 T unsalted butter, melted


1/2 C to 1 C blueberries (frozen or fresh work just fine)


*DID you notice that there is NO SUGAR in these?! HOORAY!*






How To:


Start by mixing together the dry ingredients-flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. 

Mix the honey, eggs, melted butter, and milk together. Slowly add them to the dry ingredients and mix well.


Gently fold in the blueberries. 


Heat a griddle on medium-high heat. You can slather the griddle with butter or with non-stick cooking spray. On gluttonous days I use the butter ;) 


You can either pour the pancake batter on the griddle or use a ladle. 


**EDIT: After making these with a ladle, and making a HUGE mess, I decided to pour all of the batter into a zip loc bag, cut a hole in the end and squeeze the batter out. It worked REALLY well!!**


When they begin to brown around the edges, flip them over for a few more minutes. 

The Results:


These are best served with Warm syrup and plenty of butter! YUM! 


I served them with a side of fresh fruit (strawberries, melon, and berries). 


I don't ever feel bad about eating these because there is NO SUGAR! Doesn't that sound awesome?? 


One of the best things about these pancakes is that they can be frozen! Place the pancakes in a tupperware container, separating each one with a piece of parchment paper. 


When you're ready to eat them, place them in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, then serve! So easy!
