Pancakes? Yes, Please!

Every couple of weeks or so I'll whip up a batch of pancakes. This is probably one of my husband's favorite meals EVER and he gets so excited when I tell him it's time for pancakes. We've visited a restaurant in the Bay Area that serves pancakes with blueberries and wheat germ. The restaurant calls them Blue Germs.

Here's my version. Oh yes, and they're vegan, too! You gotta serve them with something sweet though because they aren't made with any sugar.

Vegan Blue Germ Pancakes - Serves 2 Hungry People
1 1/2 cups of unsweetened soy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup frozen blueberries
2 teaspoons toasted wheat germ

In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Stir in blueberries so they don't clump. Mix in soy milk and vanilla. Let batter sit for 5 minutes. In the meantime, heat up the griddle. Use a ladle to pour batter onto griddle. Sprinkle wheat germ on pancakes before flipping. Cook on each side about 4-5 minutes. Serve with maple syrup and enjoy the deliciousness.

Yum! Those look really good! I usually make the pancakes from the cookbook Joy of Vegan Baking, but I also tweak it to include whole wheat flour and date syrup instead of regular sugar. I never thought of sprinkling wheat germ on the pancakes before flipping them. My husband and boys just got up, maybe I will make them some pancakes for breakfast!

Hi Amy! I have that cookbook but I've never noticed the pancake recipe. I'll check it out. Hope you have a great day!
