    The concept of food holidays is on my list of top 10 favorite inventions, right next to celebrating half birthdays. Speaking of half birthdays, mine is tomorrow. I expect cards and gifts... haha I kid I kid...

    But really, food holidays are so fun!

    Celebrating an otherwise normal day with food?! Don't mind if I do.

    National Blueberry Pancake Day? Consider it done!

    Blueberry Protein Pancakes from Living Well Kitchen

    We all know about my love of pancakes, and to say "I like blueberries" would be the biggest understatement of the year.

    So celebrate we will -- Happy Blueberry Pancake Day!!

    These blueberry protein pancakes are quite simple. You just blend together the pancake ingredients and stir in some blueberries.

    If you've never made my protein pancakes, you might find the ingredients list a little bizarre. However, I need you to trust me that these pancakes are delish! Even if you are not a fan of cottage cheese, you will not detect it in these pancakes. They just taste like pancakes.

    For this blueberry pancake version, I added a little lemon juice because it really brings out the blueberry flavor. It's not mandatory but it sure is good {I made versions with and without, and I liked the lemon version a little better}.

    I like extra blueberries in my pancakes because, like I said, I love blueberries.

    Blueberries add tons of flavor without added sugar. Did I mention that blueberries are packed with antioxidants, fiber, and wonderfulness? Yeah, blueberries are super heroes. Delightful, tasty super heroes.

    These blueberry protein pancakes are one of the best ways to start your day. They are full of fiber, protein, and most importantly, flavor.

    If you need a little extra sweetness, I recommend a touch of real maple syrup. Maybe a little pat of butter on top, too.

      I'm with you, food holidays are holidays to live for! These look delicious & love that they're higher in protein as I get stuffed on pancakes, then starving after a few short hours

      I think you know how much I love food holidays! I must have missed this one though. We made pancakes with frozen blueberry syrup just the other day in honor of the snow day we had mid-week. Love them!

        Thanks Patricia! You can leave out the coconut oil -- that will definitely help cut back on the fat. Also, you could use reduced-fat cottage cheese {but make sure that it doesn't have added sugar}. Hope that helps! Enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚
