    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup all-purpose flour

    1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

    1/4 cup wheat germ

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder

    1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

    3 tablespoons sugar

    2 cups nonfat buttermilk at room temperature

    3 large eggs at room temperature

    3 tablespoons butter, melted

    Canola oil spray

    2 to 2-1/2 cups frozen blueberries, thawed and drained

    1 bottle (about 10 ounces) sugar-free blueberry preserves for sauce (optional)

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, wheat germ, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and butter. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, blending just until combined.

    Spray a griddle or large nonstick skillet with canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until hot enough to make drops of water scatter on its surface. Working in batches, pour the batter onto the griddle in 1/4-cup amounts. Sprinkle some blueberries on top of each pancake.

    Cook pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer cooked pancakes to a heatproof platter and keep warm in a preheated 200 F oven until all pancakes are made.

    If using blueberry preserves, place them in a microwave-proof container. While pancakes are cooking, heat in microwave at medium power, stopping occasionally to stir, until jelly is melted and mixture is warm, about 2 to 3 minutes. If too thick, add a small amount of water to thin mixture to a sauce-like consistency. Transfer sauce to a sauceboat. Serve the pancakes with blueberry sauce.

    Makes about 20 pancakes, or about 7 servings.
