Blueberry Pancake: Simply Sweet and Easy

Posted: 12/21/2011

Blueberry-Filled Dutch Pancake is a scrumptious dish for breakfast or brunch.

(NAPSI)—For a quick twist on blueberry flapjacks, why not try a Blueberry-Filled Dutch Pancake? This family-sized pancake is quick and easy to mix in the blender, and bakes in the oven.

The Dutch pancake puffs as it bakes and quickly settles down as it cools to be filled with big luscious blueberries that are gently poached in syrup.

Fresh and frozen blueberries are a great way to start the day. Not only do blueberries add fun to breakfast, a whole cup has just 80 calories and provides fiber, vitamin C, manganese and substances that have antioxidant properties.
