Buckwheat Banana Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 cup buckwheat pancake/waffle mix
• 1 cup water
• 1 large banana, mashed

Preparation

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the blueberries, orange juice, and maple syrup. Microwave on medium setting for 5 minutes.

In a medium-size bowl, blend the pancake mix, water, and banana with an electric hand mixer. Meanwhile, preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet to 450°F. Pour the pancake mixture onto the griddle and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Then turn the pancakes over and cook for another minute. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and drizzle with blueberry sauce. Serves 2.

Variation
We suggest French Acadian Buckwheat pancake mix from Bouchards Family Farm.
