Serve these light pancakes with our Chunky Blueberry Sauce, maple syrup or honey. Sprinkling the berries on top of the cooking pancakes ensures even distribution. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven, if desired, while cooking the rest.

"I divided the ingredients by 4, and made just one serving ;) Took 20 mins and turned out fine! I added a bit more buttermilk, but next time I'm going to use less; thick batter is easier to handle in the pan. Good recipe! "

I divided the ingredients by 4, and made just one serving ;) Took 20 mins and turned out fine! I added a bit more buttermilk, but next time I'm going to use less; thick batter is easier to handle in the pan. Good recipe! melcantspell	3 weeks 4 days ago
These were awesome, they took considerably longer than regular pancakes, but were worth the wait! I subbed almond milk + lemon juice because I didn't have buttermilk, I also subbed amaranth flour for all purpose flour and baking stevia for sugar and it turned out great!

I enjoy these pancakes, but the batter is always too thick. Did anyone else have problems with that? Was the canola oil supposed to go in the pancakes? I thought it was just to cook them. Rachel, IL	8 weeks 1 day ago
I haven't tried these yet, but they do sound delicious. I just wanted to reply to Frank's comment about the nutritional info. I did my own calculations, and these pancakes, if served to 4 people as directed, is NOT 500 calories. They are in the 200 calorie range as is written. Never rely on anyone else to calculate nutritional info for you, double check yourself. Kori, Oak Ridge, TN	8 weeks 1 day ago
Do the math folks - there is NO way this recipe adds up to 238 calories .. unless of course your serving size is one (5") pancake. I think it is a disservice to indicate a per-serving calorie count and NOT identify the serving size. I did a rough tabulation and (2) 5" pancakes (about what you would expect a serving to be), amounts to about 550 calories. For 550 calories I could had bacon, eggs, toast and OJ. Thanks for nothing.

I replaced buttermilk by low fat plain yogurt and it was excellent! My husband is not a big fan of pancakes, but he loved this recipe! Julie	8 weeks 1 day ago
These are light tasting, fluffy textured, and delicious. I use lemon olive oil in place of the canola, and add just a pinch of Splenda. They seem to work better with fresh versus frozen berries (of course), and also taste good with the cinnamon syrup in the Overnight French Toast recipe. Stephanie, Friday Harbor, WA	8 weeks 1 day ago
This morning I made these wonderful pancakes for the second time and made some changes to make them even better! Instead on the all-purpose flour I substituted oat flour made by grinding up regular oats in my food chopper (or a blender), added one packet of Splenda in addition to the sugar, and used 1/2 t. vanilla in place of the nutmeg and lemon zest. They were oat-standing! I use oats whenever I can in my bread recipes to provide the extra fiber and lower the Weight Watchers points. I topped them with some sugar-free syrup, but you could omit the fruit and make a blueberry sauce topping if you wanted, as well. Combinations are endless! Tana, The Villages, FL	8 weeks 1 day ago
I made these pancakes for breakfast this week and served them with warm real maple syrup. The only thing I did differently with this recipe was to omit the canola oil (can't stomach it, and never use oil in my pancakes anyway), and I added the berries to the batter. It worked out perfectly, though I'm sure adding the berries to each individual cake probably makes for more even distribution. This recipe will definitely go into my 'make again' file.

These were delicious! We served with the chunky blueberry sauce which was also very tasty. A great recipe if you have company for breakfast and not too difficult. Angela, Westland, MI	8 weeks 1 day ago
