RECIPE: Whole Grain Blueberry Pancakes



Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon artificial sweetener (agave syrup, honey, stevia)
1/2 cup blueberries

*Add any of your favorite spices. I love cinnamon. You can substitute the blueberries with apples or other berries. Avoid bananas since they are high in calories.

Directions: 
1. Sift together flour and baking powder, set aside. Beat together the egg, milk, salt, and sweetener in a bowl. Stir in flour until just moistened, add blueberries, and stir to incorporate.
2. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, and spray with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbly, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until golden brown.

Serve the blueberries with a hard boiled egg for protein, a green juice for your vitamins, and a grilled pineapple for a touch of sweetness.
