The Pancake Recipe Has Arrived

September 11, 2006 by Nicole 53 Comments

I wrote about blueberry pancakes a while back but didn’t post my recipe because I thought it needed a little work. Well this morning I felt like working on it (actually, I felt like eating blueberry pancakes), so I now have a delicious whole grain sour cream blueberry pancake recipe for you, complete with nutrition info! I really think these are the best whole grain pancakes I’ve ever eaten!

These pancakes are good for you in the sense that they offer a good amount of fiber and protein compared to a traditional pancake. But like many of my recipes they are not low in fat. Perhaps you noticed the word “sour cream” in the recipe title? I used full fat sour cream because that’s what I like. But feel free to experiment with lowfat sour cream if you prefer. Just please don’t use any of those strange fat free concoctions that they try to pass off as sour cream…they scare me 😉

This recipe uses oat bran and if you don’t normally keep it on hand, go ahead and buy some. I know what it’s like to buy an ingredient for one recipe and then never use it again. But I’ve already posted two muffin recipes featuring oat bran and now these pancakes. So you don’t really have an excuse not to try it! And since I like using it so much lately, I’m sure you’ll see a few more “oat bran” recipes popping up soon.

The suggested serving for this recipe is three pancakes, so when you look at the nutrition data, keep that in mind. They are much more filling than traditional pancakes and I actually found myself pretty full after eating only two of them. I’m pretty sure my husband could polish off quite a few more than that though! But now that I’ve made the full recipe and I’m currently the only one in the house, I’m going to be eating these pancakes for over a week! I hope they freeze well 🙂

    I love oat bran! It makes really delicious oatmeal -- in fact, I prefer it to regular oat meal! Mix it with some salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon!

    We had fun this weekend picking blueberries with our families and was looking for recipes for our blueberries. So glad I found your site, thanks for sharing this delicious recipe. I shared your link on our post Little Hands that Cook with Books and Blueberries too! Can't wait to make it with my daugther. http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2012/05/30-ways-to-eat-blueberries.html
