Blueberry wholewheat pancakes for #cookforfamily

wholewheat pancakes

Yes it’s the Cook For Family event again and this time it’s for ONE WHOLE WEEK! It was planned to coincide intentionally with Singapore’s Eat With Your Family Day happening next Friday, 31 May. So, Cook For Family is encouraging everyone to join in the fun and cook a meal for your family this week!

I decided to kickstart this week’s cooking with these blueberry wholewheat pancakes. These are butter free (I used olive oil as a substitute) and made with whole wheat flour. The original recipe called for buttermilk but I used a buttermilk substitute instead. Simply add 1 tbsp of vinegar and top up with milk till it forms one cup. This gives 1 cup of buttermilk substitute.

I enlisted the help of my very young chef to make these pancakes. She’s running a slight temperature but she was very happy to help!

The resulting pancakes are fluffy and moist, but I want to try tweaking the recipe to reduce the amount of baking powder it called for. Somehow the amount that the recipe called for gave the pancakes a slightly metallic taste in my opinion. I happened to chat with a friend and she mentioned “aluminium-free baking powder”. It’s not easily available over here and I’ve never heard of it! Now I’ve got to go find it. Once I’ve tried it out, I will post the recipe.

If you wish to join the Cook For Family event, you still have time! You don’t have to be in Singapore, we have people participating from all over the world! Check out the facebook event link here.
