Tropical Pancakes


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 188

Ingredients

1 cup Whole Grain Total® or Wheaties® cereal
1 egg
1 medium very ripe banana, mashed (1/2 cup)
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Place cereal in plastic bag or between sheets of waxed paper crush with rolling pin (or crush cereal in blender or food processor) set aside. Beat egg in medium bowl with hand beater or wire whisk until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients until well blended. Gently stir in cereal.

2. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375°. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Grease with butter if necessary.

3. For each pancake, pour slightly less than ¼ cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook until puffed and full of bubbles turn before bubbles break. Cook other side until golden brown.

A NOTE from DR. GHOSH
This whole-grain breakfast is a healthy way to begin your day. Whole grains supply fiber and B vitamins and may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.

"Serving these pancakes with honey or real maple syrup, whipped cream (I try to add calories whenever I can) and a few slices of banana makes me feel like I am having a real treat. I freeze the pancakes in individual plastic bags (two per bag) and reheat them in the toaster oven. Then I have an instant, low-odor breakfast." -Anne R.
