Total time: 25 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 15 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

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.

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.

Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium. Spoon the batter by ¼ cupfuls onto the pan.

Repeat with the remaining batter.
