TIPS:

• To avoid overcooking the pancakes, flip the pancakes if bubbles appear on the surface. 
• Always cook in under low heat to avoid getting crispy pancakes.
• Use wild blueberries instead but if you are on budget, use the big berries and cut it into half. The big berries will actually hinder the cooking process of your pancake batter and you will not have a nice even golden brown colour. 
• For an even healthier recipe, use half cup all-purpose flour with half cup wheat flour.
• To store: the batter should only be refrigerated for 24 hours. Any longer and the air will run out, giving it a flat and heavy pancake. Nonetheless, you can cook it and store it for about 3 days.
