Whole Wheat Cornmeal Blueberry Pancakes - egg free recipe

Whole Wheat Cornmeal Blueberry Pancakes

I am always looking for recipes that can be easily adjusted or modified for special needs and small batches.  When I have one or two guests for breakfast, I don't want to use a recipe for twenty.  So, I love recipes like this one.  Whole wheat (whole grains), cornmeal and blueberries with no added sugar, no eggs, and the milk can be replaced with almond, soy or coconut milk for a vegan option.  And, they actually taste good, too!

A couple of notes about this recipe, the batter is very thin, but, the pancakes puff up nicely, as you can see.  I used frozen blueberries and placed 8 - 9 berries on each pancake immediately after pouring the batter on the hot griddle.  I prefer to make sure every pancake has the same number of berries.  Lastly, I did use butter to grease the griddle.  If there was not enough butter on the griddle, they did stick.

Thanks for visiting the Americus Garden Inn blog.  Please let me know how this recipe works for you.

Love,

Susan
