Healthy Pancakes

Mix together dry ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
(or substitute 1/4 cup flour for 1/4 cup flaxseed)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar

In a separate bowl, mix together:
1 mashed banana (optional)
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 egg
2 Tablespoons canola oil

Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients and stir just until moist throughout. At this point, add 3/4 cup of your favorite fruit (blueberries are my favorite), and stir. You could also add 1/2 cup carob or chocolate chips (a favorite with the kids).

Heat skillet at medium heat, and spray with cooking spray. Test one drop of batter to make sure the pan is hot. If the drop sizzles, add batter for 2-3 pancakes. At this point, you may need to turn down the stove slightly. Cook the pancakes until the tops form bubbles, then turn. Continue cooking until golden brown. Remove to plates and serve with maple syrup (see next post).
