1 cup flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg or freshly grated 1 whole egg 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt 1/2 cup nonfat milk 1 tablespoon vegetable oil nonstick cooking spray 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 1 dollop nonfat vanilla yogurt or nonfat sour cream maple syrup Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a separate, large bowl, beat the egg with the plain yogurt and milk. Beat in the oil, then add the flour mixture. Stir until combined (lumps are all right). Spray a griddle with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat until a few drops of water dance on the surface. For each pancake pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle, then sprinkle in a few blueberries. Cook pancakes on one side until puffy and full of bubbles, then flip and cook on the other. Serve with a dollop of yogurt and maple syrup. Variations: Apple Pancakes: Instead of the berries, fold in 1 peeled and thinly sliced Red Delicious apple into the batter. Vegetable Pancakes: For brunch type pancakes, replace the berries with 1/2 small carrot, finely julienned, and 1/2 rib of celery, finely julienned. Whole Wheat Pancakes: To increase the fiber in the pancakes, replace 1/3 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour.
