Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes

Blueberry pancakes get a fun makeover with yellow cornmeal, which makes these pancakes unbelievably light and fluffy. Top these pancakes with LOTS of maple syrup!

 Just a little pancake indulgence for Sunday breakfast. Because weekends are always better with pancakes, right?

How long has it been since my last pancake recipe? 1 or 2 weeks? That’s way too long, my friends and it’s just not acceptable any way you look at it. I’m making up for it, though…..With some of the most rustic pancakes you will ever taste. Nope, these are not just plain, old blueberry pancakes—hence the title—these are blueberry CORNMEAL pancakes, and they are probably the best ‘darn pancakes you will ever have the pleasure of consuming.  

Am I the only one who just loves the ‘combo of blueberries and cornmeal? It seems like a slightly odd combination of flavors, but you will not believe how well the two go together. Like peanut butter and jelly. Like cookies and milk. Like strawberries and cream. (okay, I’ll stop now 😉 ) You get the point, blueberries and cornmeal were made to be together. They were especially meant for each other in these pancakes.

These pancakes are super-light and fluffy; thanks to the yellow cornmeal and they are simply exploding with juicy blueberries. And obviously they are drenched to within an inch of their life with sticky maple syrup…..The only way to enjoy pancakes.

‘Cause everything’s better with more syrup 😀

 These pancakes are soooo easy, it’s scary….

Nobody I know has time to slave away the morning in the kitchen making breakfast. Even on a weekend. That’s why, for your convenience, these pancakes are ready in less than 30 minutes and call for staple pantry ingredients. Nope, you don’t even have to go to the grocery store. Because who, in their right mind, would want to change outta their PJ’s on a Sunday?

Lazy Sundays are a norm around here, and the simplicity and comfort of the blueberry pancakes remind me of just that: Lazy, boring Sundays spent doing nothing.
