Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

Recipes

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals.  Aside from the nutritional benefits of having breakfast, I simply cannot start my day unless I have a wholesome breakfast.  My husband is an even bigger fan of breakfast – we usually talk about what we will eat for breakfast the night before.  Pancakes are usually a weekend pick, because who doesn’t want to start the weekend off with a stack of homemade pancakes?!

Up until a few years ago, I would opt for the pancake mix boxes because I thought pancakes from scratch were just too much work first thing in the morning.  When I started making my pancakes from scratch, I realized how quick and easy it is to whip up a batch in the morning.  The great thing about making your own pancakes is that you know exactly what is going in your pancakes.  I have a couple of go-to pancake recipes that I love.  This pancake recipe uses oats and whole wheat flour, packing in the fibre to help you feel full until you are ready for lunch.

These pancakes are:

– Free of refined sugar

– Fibre-filled

– Packed with protein (Tip: have a cup of milk with your pancakes for a complete breakfast)
