- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

- Serve the healthy blueberry pancakes with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
