Maple Blueberry Corn Cakes |
I don't usually have boxed baking mixes on hand, but a few weeks ago I picked up a corn muffin mix because my son loves cornbread and I thought maybe I could use the mix to make something he would enjoy. Since I rarely follow anyone else's recipe, never mind the instructions on the back of a box, this recipe is completely my own invention inspired by the fact that I had a bag of frozen blueberries that had been in my freezer for awhile and three bottles of maple syrup filling up a pantry shelf. These are very much like pancakes, but with the hearty texture of cornmeal, and the built in sweetness from maple syrup. We served them with more pure maple syrup to pour over top, but they don't even need it. They are sweet, hearty, moist and definitely a perfect weekend breakfast. Why not try them tomorrow??
