Ingredients for servings

    Pancakes

  • 1.5 cups fresh blueberries

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 0.5 cup fine yellow cornmeal

  • 0.25 cup whole- wheat pastry flour or gluten-free flour blend

  • 1.5 teaspoons g

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

  • 0.5 cup 2% milk

  • 1 egg beaten

  • 1.5 tablespoon melted coconut oil or safflower oil

Directions

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (170g) of the blueberries, syrup, cinnamon and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the blueberries have popped and released their juices and the mixture is syrupy, 4 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the blueberries and stir until combined.

  • Mist a non-stick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat until hot. Scoop the batter into a 0.25 -cup measure and pour into the pan. Repeat with remaining batter in 2 batches, spacing the pancakes a few inches apart. Flip the pancakes when the edges look dry and the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary. Cook on the second side until cooked through. Serve with the blueberry syrup.
