Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Menu. This is a new take on pancakes and this dish is quite delicious. The combination of fruit, cinnamon and nutmeg is heavenly decadent. If you don't have pears available, use apples and the pancakes will taste just is good. I also highly recommend adding a touch of vanilla extract or almond extract to enhance the flavor of the pancakes.
