Blueberry Brancakes with Orange Zest and Walnuts


1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
1 cup bran flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon orange zest

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup walnuts

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place walnuts on a baking sheet inside the oven.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, salt and sugar. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, and then stir in the milk, butter and zest. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry.

Place non-stick skillet on medium heat. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancakes. Cook the first side until small bubbles appear throughout the pancake, roughly 3-4 minutes. Then flip and cook until the pancake stops steaming, roughly 2-3 minutes.

Keep cooked pancakes in the warm oven on the same pan as the nuts. Serve with warm maple syrup and room temperature butter.
