PANCAKES
3/4 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked) 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/3 cups fat-free milk 1 egg, beaten 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed and drained
BERRY TOPPING 1 jar (10 oz.) blueberry or blackberry fruit spread 1 tablespoon lemon juice In large bowl, combine flour, oats, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well. In medium bowl, combine milk, egg and vegetable oil; blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently stir in cranberries. (Do not overmix.)
Heat griddle over medium-high heat (or preheat electric skillet or griddle to 375°F). Lightly grease or spray griddle with nonstick cooking spray. For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle; quickly top with 8 to 10 blueberries. Turn pancakes when edges look cooked. In small microwavable bowl, heat fruit spread and lemon juice on HIGH (100%) 1-1/2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Pour over pancakes. MAKES ABOUT 16 PANCAKES
Cook's Tips: • A pancake griddle should be very hot. To test, sprinkle a few drops of cold water on the griddle. If the water dances on the surface, the griddle is ready.
• To freeze, cool pancakes completely and pack individual servings in small plastic freezer bags. Refrigerate extra topping in a covered container. To reheat, arrange frozen pancakes in single layer on microwave-safe plate, add topping, and microwave on MEDIUM (50%) until warm.
