About Blackberry pancakes

Blackberry pancakes are a sweet and fruity breakfast dish that combines traditional pancake batter with fresh or frozen blackberries. Originating as a twist on classic pancakes, this dish is popular in Western cuisines and often featured in brunch options. Blackberries are nutrient-dense fruits, rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. When incorporated into the pancake batter, they enhance the flavor while boosting nutritional value. Blackberries contain approximately 43 calories per 100 grams and provide significant amounts of manganese, a mineral crucial for bone health and metabolism. The pancake base typically includes flour, milk, eggs, and sugar, offering carbohydrates and protein, but can be customized for various dietary needs, such as gluten-free or dairy-free options, depending on the ingredients used.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants, blackberries help combat oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, according to their high vitamin C content (21 mg per 100 g).
• High in dietary fiber (5 g per 100 g), blackberries contribute to healthy digestion and help maintain satiety throughout the day.
• Manganese found in blackberries supports bone health and metabolism, with 0.65 mg per 100 g serving contributing to daily requirements.
