Notes: Work Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes. We all know that
sprinkling blueberries into traditional pancake batter is a good way to add
a little extra flavor and make the pancakes a bit more special. But it is
also a great way to add nutrition a small step toward the goal of eating
5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day that’s recommended by the
National Cancer Institute and the USDA. I cram my pancakes with all the
fruit they will hold, and even top them with a fruit syrup that replaces
the empty calories of classic maple topping. And a little whole wheat flour
punches up the fiber and vitamin E in the recipe. My simplest tip for
healthy cooking is to add fruit and vegetables wherever possible, and these
pancakes are a perfect example. -TH
