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

  1. 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.
  2. Lightly spray the griddle or frying pan with oil.
  3. Ladle the batter onto the hot griddle or frying pan.
  4. Flip when the edges of the pancake start to appear set. Finish cooking.
  5. Serve with your favourite local pure maple syrup.

Enjoy with yogurt, and fresh fruit. A dollop of whipped cream is a decadent add-on.
