- Berry Good Pancakes
Berry Goodness in every bite!
Take a basic pancake recipe and pack it full of delicious, nutritious ingredients, serve it to the entire family, and freeze the leftovers for quick school day breakfasts! That was my mission last weekend, and one so successful, that everyone voted this recipe a “KEEPER”!
I must confess: I LOVE Pancakes!
What I don’t necessarily love about them is that they can be minimally nutritious and potentially a “gut bomb” if made with white flour and laden with high fructose syrup. Over the past few years, in my household, pancake making and eating has evolved and this recipe is just one product of that evolution, that I think you and your family will love as well!
Berry Good Pancakes
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1 cup of unbleached white flour
1/2 cup of oat bran
2 Tbl. of finely milled flax seed
(Try Beveri Organic Golden Flaxseed with mixed berries)
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbl. sugar
Sift together all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Next blend:
1 cup of Mixed Berries (Try Market Pantry Triple Berry Fruit Blend with blueberries, blackberries & raspberries)
Blend the berries and almond milk until smooth then add in:
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
4 Tbl. canola oil
Combine the berry mixture and wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, adding in an additional 2 cups of Almond Milk alternately. Thin the batter to desired consistency with additional almond milk.
Pour batter onto a hot griddle in scant 1/4 c. circles and cook each side until golden brown.
Serve hot berry pancakes with vanilla yogurt or Greek yogurt and additional berries as a garnish.
This recipe makes a huge batch of pancakes, my best estimate is approximately 12 servings as I was flipping cakes while the entire family was gobbling them up, surely 3 or 4 a piece (times 5) and I froze two quart sized Ziploc bags for school day breakfasts!

I hope that your family enjoys these Berry Good Pancakes as much as mine does, and you can enjoy serving and eating them even more, knowing that they are made with nutritionally dense ingredients, providing whole grains, antioxidants, Omega-3, protein, fiber and full, fresh, flavor!
