Blueberry Polenta Pancakes

These pancakes are light, fluffy, tasty, gluten-free, and loaded with good-for-you blueberries. I adapted this recipe slightly from the Hollyhock Garden to Table Cookbook. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or 1/2 cup of the Hollyhock homemade gluten-free flour mix. I generally use the versatile Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Flour Mix which works perfectly.
