Berry Delicious and Easy Wheat Germ Pancakes

Whip up a batch of these pancakes on a lazy weekend morning or even on a
school day! Use fresh fruit in season, but frozen fruit works just fine, too.

Serves 4 (2 Pancakes Each)

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake mix
  • 1/4 cup Kretschmer Original Toasted Wheat Germ
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup 2 tablespoons fat-free milk (or up to 1 cup for thinner pancakes)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, or fruit of choice
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1/4 cup all fruit jelly, flavor of choice
Directions

1. In medium bowl, mix together pancake mix, Kretschmer wheat germ, walnuts and cinnamon.

2. In small bowl, whisk together egg and milk; add to dry ingredients, stirring until combined.

3. Stir in blueberries or fruit of choice.

4. Heat large non-stick pan over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon oil. Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Then pour another 1/4 cup batter into pan, allowing space between each pancake. Add two more pancakes if there is enough room in the pan and cook until pancakes are crispy but not burned on one side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (You may need to adjust the heat so pancakes cook properly.) Flip pancakes and cook for another 1 1/2 minutes until pancakes are no longer raw on the inside.

5. Repeat by adding other 1/2 teaspoon oil. Let pan get hot and pour out 1/4 cups of batter to make the rest of the pancakes.

6. While the pancakes are cooking, place the all fruit jelly in microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for about 30 seconds or until jelly is completely melted. (Times may vary depending on your microwave. If you do not have a microwave, place jelly in a small pan on the stove and heat until liquid, about 3 to 5 minutes on medium-low heat. )

7. Serve pancakes with warm jelly sauce divided evenly on top of pancakes.
