As an added bonus, we’re giving you a peek into one of the new lines of OXO Cookware. These pancakes were the first recipe I whipped up using the new OXO Non-Stick Pro 11 Inch Square Low Griddle and after the very first flip of a pancake I was in love. When they say non-stick, they mean non-stick. Not an ounce of butter or cooking spray was needed to effortlessly lift these pancakes off of the griddle thanks to the German-engineered, PFOA-free, 3-Layer, Non-Stick coating. A huge win when you want the delicate or bright flavors of your recipe to remain the star of the show.

Hard-anodized aluminum ensures superior heat retention and even cooking which means that I was able to cook several pancakes at once without worrying that the pancakes on the edges wouldn’t cook through. You may notice the ramekin of syrup and blueberries in the middle of our griddle. We’ve been living microwave free for almost a year now and this has been one of my favorite quick tricks for heating syrup. The even cook temperatures of the griddle perfectly warmed our syrup while our pancakes were cooking. The icing on the cake? If cleanup wasn’t already a breeze, this bad boy is dishwasher safe. Suffice to say we’re in love.

Let’s talk about these pancakes, shall we? They’re easy. They’re delicious. They’re bursting with flavor. Literally bursting with flavor. I looked like I had been victim to a paintball ambush after breakfast the other morning. I was so eager to dive into my stack of pancakes that I didn’t take caution to the perfectly ripe blueberries that were just waiting to attack. A few over-zealous stabs with my fork and knife and I was covered in deliciously sweet blueberry explosions. Sweet, pure maple syrup balances the tart lemon and blueberries just beautifully. The pancakes are light, fluffy, and perfectly browned thanks to the OXO Non-Stick Pro Griddle.

The collection doesn’t stop with just a griddle, be sure to head over to OXO to check out their full lines of Non-Stick, Non-Stick Pro, and 3-Ply Stainless Steel Pro Cookware. With quality cookware at your disposal, the possibilities are endless.
