Working on his Valentines for school

Good Morning, Valentines!

I just love Valentine's day! I love the colors of it...the foods (aka, the chocolate) and the meaning of the day. Just a fun day.
Hope your day is fun-filled and your Valentine treats ya well!
A little Valentine from our house to yours....a recipe for our new favorite pancake!
Keep in mind, I am doing Weight Watchers again, so it is considered "lowfat". But, I really didn't think they tasted lowfat at all. Neither did the boys.

Happy Heart Day from our House to Yours...



Blueberry-Bran Pancakes (great with a glass of pink milk!)
1 small serving ready-to-eat bran flakes (about 3/4 cup)
2 large egg whites
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tsp canola oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tsp powdered sugar

Instructions
Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat.

Crush cereal in a food processor or blender, or place in a zip-close plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin; set aside.

Stir egg whites, buttermilk, oil and cereal together in a medium bowl; allow to stand 5 minutes. Beat in flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda with a wire whisk until well blended.

To make pancakes, place 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet for each pancake. (I used a heart-mold today!) Gently press 5 to 6 blueberries into each pancake. Cook until puffed, about 2 minutes; flip and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat to make 12 pancakes. Serve pancakes in a short stack dusted with powdered sugar (we totally skipped this and went a little more "traditional" with butter and syrup). Yields 3 pancakes per serving.

4 POINTS per serving.
