Crushed bran flake cereal boosts the fiber in these hearty pancakes. The pairing of lemon and berries give them a pleasing sweet-tart flavor. Try this recipe with pitted fresh cherries or raspberries for an equally delicious variation. Cook up a double or triple batch of pancakes and let them cool completely. Stack them with a square of waxed paper or parchment paper between each pancake and transfer them to a zippered freezer bag to freeze for up to 3 months. Just pull out what you need and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in a hot skillet. Or microwave frozen pancakes for about 1 1/2 minutes to warm through to serve.
