Healthy blueberry pancakes

Here are the recipes for the 2 ingredient pancakes with banana and eggs. I'm sure you could use egg whites.

Have you tried Greek yogurt blueberry pancakes? Its is really easy and they are pretty tasty. You just take a 5.3 oz container of nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 egg or two egg whites mix the egg into the yogurt, add 1/2 c flour and 1 t. baking soda and mix in. The batter is really thick, so then you scoop the batter onto your skillet and add the blueberries onto the pancakes, so when you flip them they are cooked in. They really didn't need anything added to them either.

I use Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat pancake mix, almond milk, flax seed and blueberries.

I know a lot of people use protein powder to make pancakes to fit into their macro's and to make them "healthier" I have never tried them but I have not found a protein that I like taste-wise

Maybe she means healthy as apposed to white flour pancakes that havesugar and butter, etc. Not as many nutrients or protein as something made out buckwheat or a flour that is more nutrient dense.

pancake mix + whole milk + egg + blueberries = blueberry pancakes

Could do flour in place of the mix (I forget off top of my head what else would be missing by doing that) - add protein powder as well - but yeah the above is really a good minimum. Love the use of whole milk in that - gotta have whole milk in pancakes.

Baking powder for leavening......

This isn't blueberry...but the recipes on this site are great

Personally, I like oatmeal buttermilk pancakes. I find them to be waaaay more filling than the light, fluffy style of pancake, and I like the taste. It just takes a bit of planning ahead because you have to soak the oatmeal.

I can't recall where I got the recipe, but below is what I did last time. You can easily add some blueberries if you want.

• 1 cup scottish oatmeal (this is a finely ground oatmeal, perhaps quick oats would work too? Definitely don't use rolled/old fashioned.)
• 1-2 tbsp flour, to get the right consistency
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup 1% buttermilk (or regular, if you want)
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1.5 tbsp sugar
• 1 whole egg
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp canola oil

Soak the oatmeal in the buttermilk for at least an hour (I did it overnight). Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir in the wet. Cook, in a lightly oiled non-stick pan, over medium-low heat until browned on one side and bubbles stop forming. Flip, and brown the other side.

I made 4 very large, fill-your-plate style pancakes from this, at ~270cal each. They have 10g of protein, too! Very filling, although I confess my father and I ate the whole batch between the two of us and then groaned about being too full for a few hours...

Really, with pancakes, the toppings you choose are usually the highest calorie part! We ate these with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and various fruit toppings. My father also added chocolate cream cheese.

These pumpkin spice pancakes are now my favourite.

For "healthier" versions of a pancake, I look at the toppings. Hubby and I eat our pancakes with yogurt and berries these days.
