Banana Pancake recipe

Saturday mornings in my house are the morning when my wife and I an the kids site doen for a nice breakfast together. The kids favorite breakfast is pancakes. The only problem with pancakes is that they can be high in fat and definitely high in carbs, not so with this great Banana pancake recipe

Ingredients

1 sprays cooking spray
2 cup unsweetened frozen blackberries, or fresh blackberries
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix, or other brand
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup wheat germ, toasted-variety
1 cup fat-free skim milk
3 large egg white(s)
1 Tbsp walnut oil, roasted-variety
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 medium banana(s), thinly sliced

Directions

1. Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium heat.
   
   
2. In a small saucepan, combine blackberries and powdered sugar; set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens and reduces, about 10 minutes.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine pancake mix, flax seeds and wheat germ; mix with a fork to combine. Add milk, egg whites, oil and vanilla extract; whisk until large lumps disappear (ignore any small lumps).
   
   
4. For each pancake, pour a scant 1/4-cup of batter onto hot griddle or skillet. Cook until bubbles appear around edges and then top each pancake with banana slices; flip pancake. Cook until golden on both sides, about 1 minute more.
   
   
5. Remove cooked pancakes to a serving plate and cover with foil to keep warm (or keep warm in a 250ºF oven). Repeat with remaining batter to make 12 pancakes. Serve pancakes with blackberry syrup spooned over top.
   

• Yields 3 pancakes and about 3 tablespoons of syrup per serving.
