Blueberry Pancake Bites

You know, pancakes aren't just for breakfast.

Though they can be a great start to the day, I eat them often as snacks and even, occasionally, for dessert.

These Blueberry Pancake Bites make a great mid afternoon pick-me-up.

There's just nothing like biting into big juicy blueberries surrounded by sweet cake at any time of the day.

Blueberry pancakes are actually one of my favorite types of pancakes.  They used to be my birthday breakfast every year and I'll even go as far as saying that I'd prefer them over dessert on some days.  That probably has to do with my love for blueberries, though.  Those alone are my favorite fruit (and maybe even food, too).

Blueberry Pancake Bites - original recipe can be found here

• 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• A little under 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/3 cup milk of choice

Combine dry ingredients, then add wet.  Mix until everything is incorporated, but don't overmix.  Pour small pancakes onto an oiled pan and cook pancakes, flipping once.  (For thinner pancakes, you can add a bit more milk)

Did I mention that these are also healthy?

Coincidentally, these pancake bites, most likely, also taste better.

A win, win situation, right?

Trust me, fry up these cute little pancakes.

Whether it's for breakfast, a snack, or maybe even lunch, just make sure at some point they enter your mouth.

And if, even after, you still want blueberries, how about a...
