One of the first things I learned to cook as a child was pancakes. These Blueberry and Banana Pancakes are filled with fresh blueberries and bananas and make the perfect weekend breakfast or bunch!
My family LOVES pancakes and this Blueberry and Banana Pancake recipe is asked for time and time again, especially when blueberries are in season. If you can’t get fresh blueberries, this recipe works well with frozen as well. Just make sure they are fully defrosted first and add after you pour the batter on the griddle.
I use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour in this recipe and I love the extra nutty flavor the whole wheat flour gives them. Don’t have or like whole wheat flour? No worries, just use the all-purpose flour. You will still end up with light, fluffy pancakes with blueberries that have that burst in your mouth goodness!!
Are Blueberry and Banana Pancakes good for you?
These pancakes are not only delicious they are good for you to boot! These pancakes are full of carbohydrates that are used to fuel your body all day long. Adding blueberries and bananas to the mix is a great way to add sweetness and getting a serving a fruit in.
Don’t just save these pancakes for breakfast!! Growing up my family always had breakfast for dinner and these pancakes are perfect!
