Prepare your ingredients.
Gather all your ingredients. Make sure the egg and milk are at room temperature, as this helps create a smoother batter.
Tip: If your blueberries are frozen, rinse them quickly under cold water and pat dry to prevent excess moisture in the batter. -
Mix wet ingredients.
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the egg and whisk it gently. Then add the skim milk and whisk until combined.
Tip: Use a whisk or fork to beat the egg and milk together well for an even texture. -
Combine pancake mix with wet ingredients.
Gradually add the whole wheat pancake mix to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy but without dry flour patches.
Tip: Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy. -
Add blueberries to the batter.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing them.
Tip: If you prefer, you can also sprinkle blueberries on the pancakes after pouring batter on the pan. -
Heat the pan.
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
Tip: Test the pan temperature by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they sizzle and evaporate, the pan is ready. -
Cook the pancakes.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tip: Use a thin spatula to flip pancakes gently to avoid breaking. -
Serve with maple syrup.
Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately while warm.
Tip: Add extra fresh blueberries or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
