Using whole grain flour and wheat germ in these pancakes isn’t just a healthy gimmick that adds fiber and protein—it also adds a nutty flavor that tastes really, really good.

Test Kitchen Tip

If you can't find whole-grain baking mix, substitute 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 egg whites.

    25 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 12

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
2 cups whole grain complete pancake and waffle mix (the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen used Kodiak Cakes brand)
2 cups buttermilk
6 tablespoons wheat germ
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Boil 1 cup syrup and blueberries in heavy medium saucepan until reduced to generous 1 cup, about 13 minutes. Cool to lukewarm.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, combine pancake mix, next 4 ingredients and 2 tablespoons maple syrup in medium bowl and whisk to blend (batter will be thick).

    Step 3
