Healthy Pancake Recipe

1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill multi-grain pancake mix (see suggestions)

1/2 cup flax seed meal

1 cup skim milk

2 eggs

1 cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Stir just until moistened (lumps are okay).

In a medium bowl, add the pancake mix and flax seed meal. Mix thoroughly. Make a well in the center and pour in the egg mixture. Stir just until moistened (lumps are okay).

Use a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake. Sprinkle blueberries on the top of each pancake (doing this now rather than folding them into the batter avoids dying everything blue or smashing the berries during cooking). Brown on both sides and serve hot.

No Bob Red Mill's Multi-Grain Pancake Mix? Just use a whole wheat flour instead. Worried about compromising flavor and texture? Don't be! There are many types of whole wheat flours that are sweeter and lighter. Hard white wheat flour creates similar results as all white but is much better for you. There are other choices, too, like kamut flour, spelt flour, oat flour, and teff flour. These are all healthier alternatives. So explore...discover...and ENJOY!
