Blueberry Vanilla Pancakes

Ingredients (serves 4):

Pancakes:

• 2 cups Birch Benders protein pancake mix
• 2 cups milk of choice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp ground flax seed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup blueberries

Blueberry Syrup:

• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Directions:  Mix all pancake ingredients together, adding blueberries in last so they do not burst. Cook pancakes to package directions.  

In a small sauce pan, add 1 cup blueberries and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries soften and mixture thickens.  Serve over cooked pancakes and enjoy!  I like to add peanut butter and bananas to my toppings as well!
