A small amount of whole-grain cornmeal gives these fruity pancakes a hearty texture without sacrificing fluffiness. Lemon zest provides enough floral sweetness that we don’t need to add any sugar to the batter. Serve with your favorite syrup or enjoy them topped with more berries.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

All-purpose flour

1 cup(s)

Whole-grain yellow cornmeal

cup(s)

Baking powder

1 tsp

Baking soda

½ tsp

Table salt

¼ tsp

1% low fat buttermilk

1 cup(s)

Lemon zest

2 tsp

Egg

1 large egg(s), lightly beaten

Blueberries

1 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, lemon zest, egg, and 3 tbsp water. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in the blueberries.
  2. Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium. Spoon the batter by ¼ cupfuls onto the pan. Cook until the tops of the pancakes are covered with bubbles and the bottoms are lightly browned, about 3 minutes; flip the pancakes over and cook until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
