Recipes for the Top 5 Cancer-Fighting Fruits of Summer

Blueberry Pancakes

Blueberries, either fresh or frozen, give ordinary pancakes a big flavor boost, not to mention a healthy dose of antioxidants.

Yield:
12 Pancakes

Serving Size:
1 Pancake

Calories:
72 cal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon and 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups low-fat or nonfat buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Take 1 tablespoon flour and toss with blueberries and set aside (prevents color from running). Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk, egg substitute, and oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in blueberries.
  2. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto a hot griddle or skillet coated with cooking spray. Turn pancakes when tops are bubbly and edges look cooked.
  3. Note: You can cut cholesterol and fat from your diet by using a commercial egg substitute instead of whole eggs. Egg whites are the main ingredient in most egg substitutes. Sodium, preservatives, and sometimes oil are added so that the product will taste and perform like whole eggs. When modifying your own recipes, use 1/4 cup egg substitute for each whole egg.
