Every weekend I make pancakes for my family. I love adding blueberries to my pancakes, and this blueberry pancake recipe is one of my favorites. These blueberry pancakes are soft, light, and fluffy and that makes them taste delicious!

Since this recipe uses a griddle or skillet to cook the pancakes, kids might need a little help. Mixing up the batter is easy, and then it takes just a few minutes to cook the pancakes.

If you have leftover pancakes, you can let them cool and then keep them in your freezer for quick weekday breakfasts.

How to Make Blueberry Pancakes

First, melt the butter and set it aside. The butter will cool a little bit while you mix up the rest of the batter.

In a large bowl, mix together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, milk, honey, and vanilla. Slowly stir in the melted butter.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Slowly stir the mixture together and be sure not to over-mix the batter. If you mix the batter too much, your pancakes could turn out flat or dense.

How to Cook Pancakes

Heat an electric griddle to 325 degrees F. If you are cooking the pancakes in a skillet, cook them on medium heat.

When the griddle is done heating, pour the pancakes into nice, round circles. Sprinkle some blueberries on each pancake.

Let the pancakes cook on the first side until the bottom is lightly golden brown. You will see tiny bubbles on the tops of the pancakes when they are ready to flip.

Then cook the pancakes on the second side until they are lightly golden brown.

Pancake Art

When you are cooking these pancakes, you can make them into an art masterpiece! When you are pouring the batter, you can try to pour it into fun shapes. You can use blueberries or other fruits to make faces on your pancakes.

Tips for Making Pancakes

• When measuring flour, use a spoon to scoop the flour into your measuring cup. If you use your measuring cup to scoop the flour it could pack too much flour into the measuring cup. Spoon and level your flour for an accurate measurement.
• Be sure to use baking powder in this recipe, not baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda are not the same.
• If you don’t have fresh blueberries you can use frozen. You don’t have to thaw the frozen blueberries.
• You can use mini chocolate chips instead of blueberries.

What to Serve with Healthy Blueberry Pancakes

Serve pancakes with butter and maple syrup. You can also serve fresh fruit with your pancakes.

If you search for cinnamon toast recipes, you’ll find that some recipes say to cook cinnamon toast in an oven or skillet. This recipe is easy for kids to make because it uses a toaster instead.

Cinnamon toast is buttery bread with cinnamon and sugar. This cinnamon sugar toast has a small crunch, but not too much and it is really good. You can eat this cinnamon toast for breakfast or a snack. It can also be a little treat after school.

My mom used to make this cinnamon toast for me. Now I make it by myself!

How to Make Cinnamon Toast

First, get two slices of bread and put them in the toaster. Check your toaster setting so you do not burn your bread. I like to use whole wheat sandwich bread for a healthy cinnamon toast. Once the bread slices are toasted the way you like them, take them out of the toaster.

Spread the warm toasted bread with butter. The butter will start to melt into the bread. Next, sprinkle the bread with cinnamon and sugar and serve.

Tips for Making Cinnamon Sugar Toast

• You should always put the butter on before you put the cinnamon and sugar, otherwise, the cinnamon and sugar won’t stick.
• Toast the bread more or less, depending on how you like your toast.
• You can use more or less butter, sugar and cinnamon depending on your tastes.
• This recipe is easily doubled. Use however many slices of bread you need for the amount of people you are serving.
• Cinnamon toast tastes best when it is warm. Serve immediately, otherwise, the toast will lose its crunch.

What to Serve with Cinnamon Toast

You can serve fruit with cinnamon sugar toast. Try strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, mango, apple, peach, or pineapple. Pair cinnamon toast with my easy yogurt bowl for breakfast.

I love this yogurt bowl because even a kid can make it. It only has four ingredients and no cooking is required. It’s made with simple ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen.

I used plain Greek yogurt in this yogurt bowl. Greek yogurt is thick and creamy and has more protein than regular yogurt. You can use your favorite kind of yogurt.

You can eat this yogurt bowl for breakfast, you can use it as a side dish for lunch, you can make it for a snack, or you can enjoy it as a healthy dessert.

How to Make a Yogurt Bowl

To make a yogurt bowl, you start by putting some yogurt into a small serving bowl. I usually use plain Greek yogurt, but you can use different kinds of yogurt such as flavored yogurt. Try to choose a yogurt that doesn’t have a lot of added sugar.

Next, you add honey, then blueberries, and then graham cracker. I like to crumble the graham cracker into small pieces before adding it to the yogurt bowl. You could also use graham crackers for dipping.

For the honey, you should drizzle it on right after you put in the yogurt, otherwise, your graham cracker will get soggy.

You can adapt this recipe to make it your own. Here are some suggestions.

Tips for making Greek yogurt breakfast bowls

• Instead of blueberries you can use another kind of berries such as raspberries, strawberries or even blackberries.
• To sweeten, you can use maple syrup instead of honey.
• If you use sweetened yogurt, you may want to leave out the honey in this recipe.
• For the graham cracker, if you don’t like the regular kind, you could use cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers. You can also use granola instead of graham crackers.
