If you take a healthful buttermilk pancake recipe and a little bag of trail mix and whirl them together, this is what you get.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 2
-
3/4 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
-
2 tsp Baking Powder
-
1/4 tsp sea salt
-
2 tsp Unsalted Butter
-
2 tsp honey
-
1/2 cup Low-fat Buttermilk
-
1 egg(s)
-
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup Harvest Trail Mix
DIRECTIONS
1
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and honey into a fine crumbled mixture with a pastry blender or potato masher. Make a well in the center and whisk in the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the trail mix. (TIP: You can make your own trail mix of nuts, seeds and dried fruits or dark chocolate chips.)
2
Spritz a large nonstick (PFOA-free) skillet (or griddle) with cooking spray and heat over medium. In batches, ladle the batter into the skillet, about 2 Tbsp. per pancake. Cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. (Hint: When making pancakes in batches, you can keep the prepared pancakes warm in a 200°F oven until all pancakes are done.)
3
Serve warm as desired.

Serving idea: Drizzle with additional honey (or coconut nectar) and sprinkle with extra trail mix.
