As someone who works full-time, Monday through Friday, I like to keep my Saturday mornings nice and leisurely.  Perfect time for pancakes!

This morning, I made a healthy, yummy breakfast that will keep me running through a morning of famers’ market shopping, dog walking, cleaning, and some good old fashioned bumming around on the couch: berry buckwheat pancakes!

The main ingredients that I used for these pancakes were frozen, unsweetened wild blueberries and Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Pancake mix.

As I’m sure you all know, blueberries are a good source of fiber and antioxidants.  Buckwheat is a great source of fiber and amino acids, not to mention gluten free.  The blueberries and buckwheat make these pancakes nutrient-packed.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen, unsweetened blueberries, defrosted
  • Slightly less than 1 cup Arrowhead Mills buckwheat pancake mix (I used ~5/6 of a cup)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 egg, beaten

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, just until mixed.  Pour batter onto griddle.

Cook until slightly browned on both sides.  Serves 3.  I’m freezing the other two servings for weekday breakfasts.

I topped mine with a tablespoon of local maple syrup (made by and given to me by a good friend).

Off to enjoy the rest of my Saturday! ;)
