Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or thawed frozen blueberries

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons water

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt

  • 3/4 cup whole milk

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 large egg

Directions

  1. To prepare blueberry sauce: Stir blueberries, sugar, water and lemon juice together in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and gently mashing the berries with the back of a spoon, until they burst and release juices, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. To prepare pancakes: Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients; add yogurt, milk, butter and egg. Whisk until just combined.
  3. Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat lightly with cooking spray. Working in 4 batches, place 4 equal scoops of batter (about 3 tablespoons each) 3 inches apart on the pan. Cook the pancakes until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between batches.
  4. Serve the pancakes with blueberry sauce spooned over the top.
