WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES WITH BLACKBERRIES
With all due respect to diner breakfasts and box mixes, the average pancake is about as satisfying as a bag of marshmallows. We'll take ours skillet-size, burnished from whole wheat flour and studded with cooked grains, because we want them flavorful and with a hardy texture.

Steps:
- Whisk whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl just to incorporate. Using a few swift strokes, whisk egg mixture into dry ingredients just to combine. Stir grains into batter (you can pulse the grains in a food processor first if you prefer them in smaller pieces).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly brush with butter. Add half of batter to skillet, spreading into an even layer as wide as the skillet. Cook pancake until bubbles have formed and broken across the entire surface and underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using 2 spatulas (or sliding onto a flat plate before inverting back into skillet), flip pancake. Continue to cook until lightly browned underneath, about 1 minute. Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes topped with butter, fruit, and syrup.

Cook until browned and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and set in the middle, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES WITH BERRY COMPOTE
Heated with lemon and a little sugar, blueberries cook down to an almost jammy topping to mix with blackberries and spoon over whole-wheat pancakes. The breakfast delivers a great dose of fiber.

Steps:
- Make the pancakes: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Let stand 10 minutes (if batter thickens, stir in 1 tablespoon water).
- Make the compote: Heat blueberries, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until berries begin to burst, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in sugar. Simmer, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in blackberries.

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE
This is a refresh of a Wholeliving.com recipe. Martha Stewart's gang opts for low-fat buttermilk, but I never have that on hand so I trade in 2% milk or vanilla soymilk -- depending on what's in the fridge.The added wheat germ supplies some potassium and iron (it has more than any other food). I also add a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I love it) and cut the whole wheat flour with some all purpose flour so they don't taste too "nutty." To make the compote, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries -- up the lemon juice for more tartness and up the sugar for more sweetness.

- To make the compote: Heat blueberries, lemon juice and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until berries begin to burst -- 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in sugar. Simmer, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon -- 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Tips:
- Use ripe blackberries: This will ensure that the syrup is sweet and flavorful.

- Top the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream are all great options.
Conclusion:
These whole wheat pancakes with blackberry syrup are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. The pancakes are light and fluffy, and the syrup is sweet and tangy. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
