Blueberry Banana Pancakes
Cook's Notes: Recipe adapted from Taste of Home and make 6-8 large pancakes .  
Cooking Tip: Use a griddle to cook these pancakes as the heat is more evenly distributed than a fry pan. 
Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
• 1-1/4 cups 2% milk
• 1 large banana, mashed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw out frozen blueberries) 
• Optional: Maple syrup and sliced bananas or blueberries over the top

Directions:

• In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl combine the egg, milk, mashed banana and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Carefully fold in blueberries.
• Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown. If desired, serve with syrup and sliced bananas.
