Banana Blueberry Pancakes

Banana Blueberry Pancakes

1 1/3 cups flour (I like using half all purpose and half whole wheat)
2/3 cup oat bran (I use regular oats that have been blended to a powder)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp ground flax seed (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 3/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
2 medium mashed banana
2 tbsp melted butter
1 egg, mixed
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2-1 cup fresh blueberries

1. Stir together the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Add the remaining ingredients (except blueberries) and mix until dry ingredients are completely moistened.
3. Stir in the blueberries.
4. Drop batter onto skillet or griddle on medium heat and cook like a normal pancake :)

Notes: If adding syrup alone isn't enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter with an extra tbsp or two of milk. I like the "naturally" sweetened version as seen above best, though!
