Blueberry Lemon Pancakes

Blueberry Lemon Pancakes - fluffy and flavorful, these pancakes celebrate the plump fresh blueberries of the season! Perfect Purple Pancake Stacks.

 

Remember earlier this summer when I discovered our new house has a cherry tree in the yard? Of course you do, I proceeded to make one hundred and eighty threeve things with cherry all summer long.

So... now it's fall, and the cherries are long gone. (Actually I still find some pits around, and even in the back yard! Those birds carry them far!)

In the fall we get apples, right? Yep, guess what we discovered in our side yard? An apple tree! I don't know what kind they are yet, but... applesauce is in my near future.

No apples in these pancakes. No cherries either.

Blueberries. The one plant I wish I would find in my yard! We had six of them on the old property, and wow do I miss them now! I bought my blueberries all season, and now I am using frozen. I did manage to find an awesome brand, a store brand, that has the fattest plumpest sweetest berries.
