Whole Wheat Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes.

Don't let the name of these pancakes scare you. They might sound freaky healthy and disgusting, but they are the complete opposite. When I first saw this recipe on Allrecipes.com (which happens to be my favorite place to find new recipes) I thought "EW, why on earth would I want to eat pancakes made with Whole Wheat flour and Olive Oil. But after tasting them, I want to eat them every day of my life! And because they are made with Whole Wheat, it makes me feel like I can eat a lot of them without feeling guilty. They are very moist and fluffy, not dense at all, and their taste is out of this world! My mom even ate them without syrup because they were so tasty. If you are looking for a recipe that will please every picky eater in your family, this will surely do the trick.
