Heart-Shaped Whole Wheat Blueberry-Nut Pancakes

Prep: 12 minutes plus standing
Cook: 15 minutes • Serves: 8

1. In large bowl, whisk eggs; stir in sweetened condensed milk, milk and lemon juice. In separate large bowl, sift together flours, sugar, baking soda and salt. With rubber spatula, gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix batter. Let batter stand 30 minutes at room temperature; batter will become thick upon standing.

2.Preheat large nonstick skillet or flat top griddle over medium-high heat (325° to 350°); spray skillet and 3-1/2- to 4-inch heart-shaped heat-proof cookie cutter(s) with nonstick cooking spray. Place cutter(s) in skillet; ladle batter into cutter(s) and sprinkle with blueberries and nuts. Cook until air bubbles have developed and underside is an even, golden color; flip and cook until bottoms are golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying skillet and cutter(s) with cooking spray as needed between batches. Serve pancakes topped with butter and maple syrup, if desired.

Chef Tips:
Serve with skewers of fruit cut into heart shapes.

Overmixing batter will result in a tough texture. Pancakes should only be flipped once to maintain a fluffy texture.

Prepared pancakes can be cooled, then stacked between waxed paper and frozen in a freezer-safe zip-top plastic bag for up to 1 month. To reheat frozen pancakes, cook pancakes in stacks of 3 on a microwave-safe plate, uncovered, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until hot.
