 Notes: Work Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes. We all know that


 sprinkling blueberries into traditional pancake batter is a good way to add


 a little extra flavor and make the pancakes a bit more special. But it is


 also a great way to add nutrition ? a small step toward the goal of eating


 5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day that's recommended by the


 National Cancer Institute and the USDA. I cram my pancakes with all the


 fruit they will hold, and even top them with a fruit syrup that replaces


 the empty calories of classic maple topping. And a little whole wheat flour


 punches up the fiber and vitamin E in the recipe. My simplest tip for


 healthy cooking is to add fruit and vegetables wherever possible, and these


 pancakes are a perfect example. -TH
