Yogurt Pancakes with Fresh Raspberry Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 cup thawed frozen or fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 3/4 cup fat-free milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp. + 1/2 tsp. canola oil

Makes 4 Servings (3 pancakes & about 3 tbsp. sauce per serving)

1. To make the raspberry sauce, combine raspberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the lemon juice in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until chunky sauce is formed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to serving bowl; set aside.
2. To make pancakes, whisk together flour, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together yogurt, milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon oil in small bowl until blended well. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
3. Coat large griddle or skillet with remaining 1/4 teaspoon oil. Set over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto griddle. Cook until bubbles appear and edges of pancakes look dry, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer pancakes to plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying griddle between batches, making total of 12 pancakes. Serve with sauce.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. Who doesn't love pancakes or waffles once in a while? If you're thinking about going out for breakfast, DON'T! You can make these delicious treat for breakfast, brunch or even dinner in 30 minutes or less and everyone will be happy. You can make these as pancakes or waffles and they will be fluffy and flavorful. I prefer waffles because waffles can be serve in equal proportions and waffles are easier to store in the freezer. The raspberry sauce can be made into blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, or cherry sauce with or without the sugar and the sauce will be delicious. I highly recommend eliminating the granulated sugar in the berry sauce because the points will be reduced and there are natural sugars in the berries that you don't need additional sugar in your breakfast.
