I have found the best pancake recipe. It's healthy to. So here it is.

Easy Pancake Mix

1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
6 Tablespoons Yellow Cornmeal
6 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Combine the all-purpose flour, pastry flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and mix well. Store in a cool, dry place.


Banana Pancakes with Walnut Honey

Pancakes
1 1/3 cups Easy Pancake Mix (above)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large banana, halved lengthwise and cut into thin slices
1/2 cup fresh raspberries (optional)

Walnut Honey
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon water

1. To prepare the pancakes: Combine the pancake mix and cinnamon in a large bowl. Combine the buttermilk, water, egg, oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Whisk into the pancake mix and stir until smooth. Fold in the banana. Set aside.

2. To prepare the walnut honey: Combine the walnuts, honey, and water in a small bowl.

3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add the pancake batter in scant 1/4 cupfuls and cook, in batches, for about 2 minutes or until the pancakes have puffed and the undersides are lightly browned. Turn the pancakes and cook for about 2 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Serve with the walnut honey and raspberries.


Enjoy,
