Recipe Redux: Pecan-Blueberry Pancakes
The new year calls for a fresh start…and that’s exactly what this month’s Recipe Redux is all about! Whatever your New Year’s resolutions may be, it’s important to get a healthy, fresh start to the day with breakfast.
These Pecan-Blueberry pancakes are a great way to kick-start the day! And to make the process even easier, you can make a bulk quantity of pancake mix (dry ingredients only) to keep on hand. Then, when you’re ready to have pancakes all you have to do is add eggs, vanilla, and milk. In place of white flour, I used a white whole wheat flour, which is less refined and has more fiber. The addition of oats to this pancake mix provides a source of soluble fiber, and flaxseed is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (good for the heart). I chose blueberries for my pancakes, but you could do chopped apples or banana slices with the pecans.
Ingredients
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. coconut milk
1 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Yum! For some reason, I really love pecans with pancakes. I usually make them with raspberries, but blueberries would be a fabulous addition as well. Delicious breakfast!
Raspberries sound like a great pairing with pecans…I’ll have to try that next!
uhhh YUM!
I have never, ever met a pancake I didn’t like and pecans with blueberries sound DIVINE. Also like your healthy flour mix – look forward to trying this one out.
Oh, I can just taste those pancakes right now. My mouth is watering!
Love blueberry pancakes! Thanks for the recipe.
Love the idea of keeping the dry mix on hand!! I’m totally going to do that!
I love this combination. I bet it would be great with almonds and almond milk too!
Great idea, putting all these great foods in a pancake. Yum!
Quite possibly my favorite combo!! Blueberries + pecans + oats + cinnamon = my morning oatmeal! Gotta love them in pancakes too!
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
