Healthy Quick Pancakes

I reluctantly used the word "healthy" in the recipe name since not much, if anything, I have posted so far is anything close to healthy. But, this one certainly is! This is my wife Becky's recipe and she makes it all the time. One thing she likes is that is is quick and easy to make and IS very good for you. If you are short on time in the mornings on the way to a busy day, try this one and see what you think. Serves 3 small pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 egg (per banana)
• blueberries

1. Mash banana really good in a bowl
2. Add the egg and stir really good (kids love to help with this)
3. Heat your griddle to 350 degrees F or use a spayed skillet and pour the mixture
4. Sprinkle a few blueberries on top and cook as you would regular pancakes
NOTE:Increase the number of banana for more yield

Be creative...you can add nuts, finely chopped apples, flax seed, cooked bacon bits.
These are so good and sweet enough you don't even need to add syrup.

Pioneer Pancakes

I am not a complicated cook by any means but instead look for the best way to serve up delicious food with great taste and flavor. One of my all time favorites, according to my 7 grand kids, are my pancakes and the best ever. The adults even love them!

I have used a Presto 20" electric griddle for 100 years and it works extremely well for pancakes and other breakfast items. Non stick surface and super easy cleanup. I set it to 350 degrees and let it heat up for a few minutes before starting.

As you can see from the pic, I also cater large groups!

Ingredients

• Pioneer Brand Original Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle mix (red label box)
• Eggs
• Milk
• Oil

1. Mix according to the box instructions and according to the amount of pancakes you wish to make.
2. Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and using a whisk, make sure there is no powder showing.
3. Adjust your texture by adding more milk or more powder mix. The thicker the mix, the thicker your pancakes will be.
4. Using a small measuring cup, dip in the bowl and pour the mix on the griddle in any size you like
5. Clean up is a wipe of the griddle with a clean wet washrag.

NOTE: the store mixes that just add water to the powder are not the same as this brand. The eggs, milk, and oil make a huge difference in taste and quality.

HINT: use a pizza cutting wheel to cut up the pancakes for little ones.
