- Mix the whole wheat flour (1/2 cup), oats (1/2 cup), baking powder (1 teaspoon), baking soda (1/2 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon), and brown sugar (2 tablespoons) in a medium bowl.
- Mix the buttermilk (or milk and vinegar mixture) with the egg and beat well.
- Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (do not overwork the batter!).
- Fold 1 cup of berries into the batter gently.

- Serve with extra berries and drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes
- If you want to use honey instead of brown sugar, add 2 tablespoons of honey to the milk mixture when you add the egg. Pour into the dry ingredients.
- Want to use frozen berries? They will work fine! Just thaw ahead of time, and know that your pancakes will be purple/blue/red from the juices from the berries :-)
