I love you... hm!
My skinny little nephew, Nikhil, is obsessed with pancakes, and that’s putting it mildly. 
At times I question if he’s even my nephew since he isn’t a fan of eating, however if he is served pancakes, the kid will wipe his plate clean.
Sometimes my sister will take him to IHOP for dinner just so he can order his favorite short stack and eat his heart out.
During a visit to California, I offered to make him breakfast over the weekend, but what I really should have offered to make him was brunch, at 12 PM!!!
On a Sunday morning at 8:30 AM, he came over to wake me up while I was still passed out, what can I say, I love to sleep.
FYI… Honey is me. Masi means aunt.
Nikhil (in the sweetest voice): Honey Masi, wake up it’s 8:30. I’m ready for my breakfast.
me: You’re already up? You wake up so early. Why don’t you go sleep some more? Come back in ½ hour.
[ ½ hour later ]
Nikhil: Honey Masi. It’s 9 AM. Wake up. I’m waiting for my breakfast.
me: Okay. I’m waking up. Just a little while more. Shut the door when you leave. Thanks.
[ ½ hour later ]
Nikhil: Honey Masi. You sleep so much. Do you know it’s 9:30 AM? I’m waiting for my pancakes. You promised.
me: Yes, I did, didn’t I? That was dumb. Okay. I’m coming. Just a little while more.
[ ½ hour later ]
Nikhil: Honey Masi. You know it’s 10 AM. It’s so late. You know I haven’t eaten anything since morning. I’m hungry.
me: OKAY. I’ll wake up. Next time I'm gonna make you brunch, not breakfast. Okay come give me a hug and kiss.
And then I freshened up and got my ass downstairs to make the poor kid pancakes.
Breakfast was served at 10:30 AM sharp, and needless to say, he enjoyed them! Yeah I know, I’m a bad aunt, but I guess my cooking skills make up for it. 🙂
To share with you are some amazing Blueberry Pancakes I made, and I also topped it off with a warm blueberry butter sauce on the side. Oh my, fluffy pancakes + a warm blueberry butter sauce is indescribably delicious. 
These are the kind of pancakes worth waiting for, even if it is a 2 hour brunch wait @ Honey's!
NUTRITION: Whole Wheat Pastry Flour is a great source of Protein and Fiber. Blueberries are a very good source of Vitamin C and Fiber. They are a good source of Vitamin E. In addition, blueberries are an ANTIOXIDANT POWERHOUSE. Milk is a very good source of Calcium and Vitamin D. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamins A and K. Eggs are a very good source of Vitamin B2, and are a good source Protein and Vitamin D, although the yolks do contain a lot of cholesterol, the yolk also contains tons of nutrients that are good for you.
INGREDIENTS (makes 6 to 7 pancakes):
for the blueberry pancakes
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour – 1 ¼ cups
- Baking Powder – 2 teaspoon
- Baking Soda – ½ teaspoon
- Salt – ¼ teaspoon
- Organic Egg Whites – 2 (beaten until stiff peaks form)
- Organic Egg Yolk – 1
- Organic Milk 1% Low Fat – 1 cup
- Organic Canola Oil – 1 tablespoon
- Sugar in the Raw Turbinado Brown Sugar – 1 tablespoon
- Pure Vanilla Extract – ½ teaspoon
- Organic Blueberries – 1 cup
- Butter - just a glaze when cooking the pancakes
for the warm blueberry butter sauce
- Organic Blueberries – ½ cup
- Sugar in the Raw Turbinado Brown Sugar – 1 teaspoon
- Unsalted Butter – 1 tbsp (skip if fat is an issue, instead increase the sugar amount so the blueberry juices are released)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Start by combining the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl… flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine 2 egg whites, reserve 1 egg yolk for later use.
3. Using an electric mixer, mix for 3 minutes on high until stiff peaks form.
4. This is what you should have. Set aside.
5. In a medium size bowl, combine the wet ingredients… 1 egg yolk, milk, oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
6. Mix on high, the wet batter will be bubbly, thick, and creamy.
7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
8. Using a spoon, milk all the ingredients until well incorporated, however do not overmix.
9. Add the egg whites to the pancake batter. GENTLY FOLD in the egg whites. Using egg whites results in fluffy pancakes.
10. Should look like little iceburgs. 
11. Add the blueberries and fold. 
12. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat, glaze with butter. Using ⅓ cup as measurement, add the pancake batter to the pan. 
13. After a couple minutes, flip. Should be perfectly golden brown. Continue doing this for the remaining pancakes.
Warm Blueberry Butter Sauce
14. Add ½ cup of blueberries to a small pot on medium heat.
15. Top with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. 
16. Once the sugar starts sticking to the bottom of the pot, add a tablespoon of butter. Stir.
17. All the blueberry juices should release. 
18. Top over a few pancakes and serve immediately. 
TELL ME: What’s your favorite pancake flavor? Do you have kids/nieces/nephews who are picky eaters?
Anne ~ Uni Homemaker says
Kids always wake up super early on weekends for their cartoons and breakfast. My nephew is the same way.
Your pancakes look fabulous. So sweet of you to make them from scratch for your nephew. 🙂 Delicious!
honeywhatscooking says
Yup.. so true. If I ever have a kid, God help me cause I hate waking up early. These pancakes were delicious. Thanks!
Eva @ Eva Bakes says

Dixya says
What a nice aunt 🙂 this is making me super hungry. I have not had blueberry butter sauce - that sounds tempting.
honeywhatscooking says
Thanks Dixya. I kinda just winged the blueberry butter sauce, definitely need a touch of butter. 🙂

Best aunt ever!!!! These look better than Clinton Street's!!
honeywhatscooking says

Khushboo says
Tell me some Honey Masi- was Nikhil patient enough to wait for you to take pictures?? If so, I think this calls for another batch of pancakes- his patience earned it ;)! These look fabulous- I love me some blueberry pancakes. Other favorites include peanut butter & banana and simple buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup & berries!
honeywhatscooking says
Hahahaaaaaa Khushboo! I actually made these pancakes again once I got back to the east coast, and thus I took the pictures at home. I love blueberry pancakes too... pb & banana is a big favorite and chocolate chip & banana. Thanks for your funny comment. 🙂
Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic says
I haven't had pancakes in ages. I bet even with his breakfast "delay" he still thinks you're the best aunt!
honeywhatscooking says
Haha... he has another aunt that he adores, I think I'm in second place. 🙂
Guru Uru says
These blueberries officially give you the award for best aunt my friend, way too delicious 😀
Cheers

P.S Because of my exams, I will not be commenting for around 4 weeks - see you afterwards!
honeywhatscooking says
Good luck on your exams CCU - I'm sure you'll do well. Thanks for your sweet comment.
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Happy Birthday to your nephew! Enjoyed reading the cute conversation 🙂
And I love adding fluffy egg whites into pancake batter -- makes it so much more light!
honeywhatscooking says
Thanks Kiran. I hope he read it too, at least I asked my sister to make sure he reads it. Yup, adding egg whites really helps the batter.
Nik Sharma says
That is a cute and hilarious story! Your nephew and I share the same first name.
honeywhatscooking says
THanks Nik. Glad you enjoyed reading about it. Yes, Nik, Nikhil. 🙂
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says
Blueberries inside AND blueberries on top?! Oh yes! I think these would definitely be worth waiting for. 🙂
honeywhatscooking says
YES... inside and outside. Definitely worth a 2 hour wait, even for a little one.
Amelia Grace says
You're so sweet and these pancakes are Devine. What a lucky guy!!
Yes my nephew is very fussy! Only plain white food for him. Luckily, my son is not fussy, phew! He'll pretty much eat anything, he still does not like whole vegetables on their own, but he will still eat them if mixed with other food.
honeywhatscooking says
Haha... I wish I was as sweet as you're saying... I should be doing more for my nieces and nephew. That's good your son is not fussy, it's hard when kids are fussy, I'd go nuts.
Emanuelle Lee says
Too delicious!!
honeywhatscooking says
Awww.. thanks.
