² Ingredients

•  1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
•  3/4 serving (serving = 1 cup) Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt
•  1 large Egg (Whole)
•  1/4 tsp Cinnamon
•  1 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long) Bananas
•  1/2 cup Blueberries
•  1 tsp Baking Soda
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) Tone's Pure Almond Extract
•  1/2 serving (serving = 1 tsp) McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
•  1 serving (serving = 1/2 cup) Bob's Red Mill 10 Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix

q Directions

1. Add 3/4 cup (6 oz.) of plain 0% Greek yogurt and 1 egg to a bowl and whisk thoroughly until smooth, light, and fluffy; it should turn light yellow in color. In a second, separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1 TSP. baking soda.

2. Pour the yogurt & egg mixture into the flour & baking soda mixture. Mix thoroughly. At this point the batter should be very thick; don't worry, it converts into fluffiness later.

3. After mixing, add 1 sliced banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 TSP vanilla extract, 1/4 TSP almond extract, a few shakes of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

4. Mix all of the ingredients vigorously so that there is no visible flour, clumps, or cinnamon. The batter should be a rich, blue-grey color (slate, to be precise).

5. Coat a large griddle/frying pan with cooking spray (I like Spectrum's spray coconut oil) and place over medium heat. Spoon the batter onto the pan into 3-5 pancakes, depending on the size & number that you want. One full batch makes three large pancakes (shown on the right). Note: Leave enough room in between each pancake; they expand considerably.

6. Flip the pancakes once you begin to see little bubbles form (~ 5 minutes). Cook for an additional 3 minutes.

7. Plate. Top with additional banana slices, blueberries, walnuts, agave nectar, honey, real maple syrup, etc. â?? the combinations are endless. If itâ??s a post-workout meal, a little bit of extra sugar (in the form of agave, honey, maple syrup) can kickstart the growth and recovery process; if this is a normal meal or snack, stick to whole fruit and nuts.
