whole wheat and cornmeal maple blueberry pancakes

Whole Wheat & Cornmeal Maple Blueberry Pancakes I One Lovely LifeI couldn’t help it! I’m sure you’re thinking “enough with the breakfast already!” but we’ve just been feeling the breakfast love around these parts. Especially since weekends practically BEG for something like this.

These are one of my new favorites. Best of all they’re both delicious and pretty nutritious!

These had amazing texture and flavor. Sometimes whole wheat flour pancakes can come off dense, but the cornmeal kept these substantial but light. Maple and blueberry together is perfection–one of my favorite combinations.

They’re sweetened with maple syrup which makes them tasty enough on their own. Sophie and I ate ours syrup-less, but I had a taste of Michael’s syrup-laden short stack and it was amazing.

I loved them!

  1. Mmmm, these look fantastic! I love that you used all whole wheat flour too. I think it’s time for me to subscribe, I keep clicking over to your site from the food photo sites. Everything looks delicious(especially the pizza you posted not too long ago!). And your little girl is so adorable, by the way!

    1. Heidi- Thanks! We just made these again last night and I remembered all over again how much I love them, whole wheat and all!

  2. Yum! I’ve never had cormeal pancakes before but they sure look good. And who could ever get tired of breakfast recipes? Breakfast is by far the best time of the day, unless there’s pizza involved later on. 🙂

  3. These were awesome!!! I did edit the recipe a little teeny bit. I didn’t have buttermilk so I subbed milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar added (how I make my usual pancakes) I also added 1 T of sugar to the batter as I didn’t cook with the blueberries. My son doesn’t like blueberries in things. Instead I made a reduction with water blueberries and sugar to go on top for me and my daughter. Lastly, I was out of vanilla but had almond extract so I subbed that. This recipe was good texture, not too think and just and touch sweet…. just the way I love my pancakes! Thanks for sharing this is a new go to for sure 😉

  4. This is the best recipe ever! Thanks so Much! So easy and tasty. I didn’t have buttermilk and did the same, mixed milk with apple cider vinegar and changed the maple syrup for regular sugar and added an extra egg. Fabulous!
