Saskatoon Berry Pancakes

Saskatoon Berries are a superfood, packed with antioxidants and high in plant-based fiber, they look like blueberries and have a similar taste but they are not related. Saskatoon berries are more in the apple family – interesting! They have 7x the amount of calcium and twice the amount of manganese of blueberries. They are SO delicious!
