Fruit & Nut Pancakes
1 cup Heart-Smart pancake mix (by Bisquick)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1-1/4 cups nonfat (skim) milk
1 egg
1-1/2 cups nonfat or 1% cottage cheese
1 cup diced apple, skin on
1/2 cup chopped dried cherries
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Spray a flat skillet or large frying pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine baking mix and whole wheat flour in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large, mixing bowl, stir together the milk, egg, and cottage cheese.
- Add the dry ingredients into the large mixing bowl and stir into a batter.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir to mix it into the batter.
- Turn on the stove burner to medium and when it is heated, begin cooking pancakes.
- Using a soup ladle, dip out batter for 2, 3 or 4 pancakes on the skillet/pan. One medium pancake is about 3 inches across.
- When little bubbles form on the surface of each pancake after 4-5 minutes, flip them over with a flat spatula and cook for 4-5 minutes longer.
Enjoy with a light drizzle of maple syrup or honey! Or, top with cut up fruit!
