    A stack of flapjacks drenched in maple syrup and a generous pat of butter isn't a cholesterol-smart start to the day, but savvy changes can help you keep pancakes on the griddle. Start by making a multigrain version using a combo of whole-wheat pastry flour, buckwheat flour, and rolled oats. Substitute two egg whites for each whole egg in the recipe, and whip the whites to make your pancakes extra fluffy. Swap the maple syrup for blueberries, and trade the butter for margarine fortified with plant sterols.
