blackberry whole wheat ricotta pancakes


had some random ingredients left from cake making, so i decided to cook myself up some ricotta pancakes! i halved this recipe from eating well, subbed blackberries instead of blueberries, and of course, tossed in the obligatory handful of minichocolate chips and sprinkle of flax seed. had no buttermilk on hand, so i used the standard sub of milk and a squeeze of lemon juice.

the whole wheat flour made these pancakes extremely filling, but they were still nice and fluffy and browned well. the recipe needed a touch more sugar, i thought, but maybe that was just because i didnt have maple syrup to douse it with.

to make up for my syruplessness, i threw in a half can of mandarin oranges with juice, a squeeze of honey and some dried cranberries into a small saucepan and reduced it until it until it turned syrupy. next time i would maybe throw in some ginger to give it more dimension.
