Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-fiber flaxseeds offer nutrient benefits only when ground (whole flaxseeds pass right through), so opt for the most finely ground flaxseeds you can find, or grind your own in a coffee grinder. If your gluten-free flour mix already contains baking powder and baking soda, omit them from the recipe.

Ingredients
Toppings

• 2 cups (one 8-ounce pack)strawberries (thawed if frozen)
• 2 tablespoons light agave nectar (divided)
• 3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 1/4 heaping teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Pancakes

• 1/2 cup 100 percent buckwheat flour
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour mix with xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons light agave nectar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 1 cup (one 4.4 ounce pack)blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

1. For toppings: Quarter strawberries, then stir in 1 tablespoon agave nectar. Set aside. Stir 1 tablespoon agave nectar and orange zest into yogurt. Cover and refrigerate.
2. For pancakes: Sift dry ingredients together into a medium mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together agave, eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Whisk wet mixture into dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with vegetable oil, then drop about 1/4 cup batter onto skillet. Cover with blueberries (no need to thaw if frozen). Fill skillet with as many pancakes as will fit, leaving a small space between. Cook until set around edges, 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until cooked through. Top each pancake with a dollop of yogurt and a scoop of strawberries.
