Ingredients – Pancakes
| 1/2 cup | Valley Kitchen Pancake Mix |
| 1/2 tsp | Cinnamon |
| 2 tbsp | Local unsweetened apple sauce |
| 1 | Large egg |
| 1/3 cup | Milk or water |
| 2 tbsp | Frozen local wild blueberries |
| 2 tbsp | Local maple syrup to taste oil for the pan or griddle |
Directions
Yield: 2 pancakes
- In a bowl, mix the Valley Kitchen Pancake & Cookie Mix with the cinnamon, apple sauce, egg, and milk. Stir to combine. Stir in the frozen blueberries. Add a little extra water, if necessary, to keep the batter thin enough to spread when scooped onto the griddle.
- Lightly spray the griddle or frying pan with oil.
- Ladle the batter onto the hot griddle or frying pan.
- Flip when the edges of the pancake start to appear set. Finish cooking.
- Serve with your favourite local pure maple syrup.
Enjoy with yogurt, and fresh fruit. A dollop of whipped cream is a decadent add-on.
