Sugarfree Blueberry Pancakes

My little one is one is not a food enthusiast. So when this morning she said - "Mom I wanna have Pancakes for breakfast", I thought I heard something wrong! Not sure what made her crave pancakes, maybe "Arthur" or "DW" had some in one of the recent episodes, but whatever, I was elated! One of the very rare occasions when my baby asks for FOOD! And I have blueberries in the refrigerator. 


Ingredients here make 4 pancakes. Time to cook is 30 minutes (if you have a larger pan that can make more than one pancake at once, you'll need lesser time).


  • 3 Tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/2 pinch of baking soda
  • 1/2 pinch of salt
  • 1 Tsp grated ginger
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp fresh or dried whole blueberries(optional)
  • Honey or Sugarfree Maple Syrup for garnish
  • Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
  • 1 Tsp vegetable oil


Method:


  • Melt the butter and let cool.
  • Mix the wheat, flour, baking soda, salt, ginger together in a bowl with a fork.
  • Add the egg and butter and mix in.
  • Now add the milk and stir to make a thick batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • Now add the blueberries. You can add raisins too.
  • Heat up a non stick pan.
  • Soak a small paper towel with the teaspoon of vegetable oil.
  • Rub the surface of the pan well with the paper towel and keep safe for subsequent use.
  • When the pan smokes, reduce heat to medium and put 3 tbsp of the batter in the center of the pan.
  • Once the surface of the pancake looses its shine, flip it over.
  • Flip the pancake on medium heat until both sides are browned. It took me about 6-7 minutes to cook one pancake.
  • Take out on a plate and drip generous amounts of honey/syrup on the pancake.

  • Serve with whipped cream.

Tip:

  • Rub the pan with the same paper towel soaked in oil before you make another pancake. You can easily make 8-10 pancake with just a teaspoonful of oil in that way.
  • Serve with fruit salad. In a bowl, chop bananas, strawberries, pineapples. Add some raisins. Add 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 2 tsp honey. Mix up.
