Banana-Blueberry Pancakes

Here's a quick breakfast idea that takes about 30 minutes to prep and cook.

Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix
3/4 cup Milk
1 Egg
 3-4 tablespoonsVegetable Oil
1 tablespoon Butter
1 Banana
Handful of Blueberries
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Follow the directions on the Aunt Jemima Box to make the batter for 10-12 pancakes. Combine the pancake mix, milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir until smooth. I use a fork or whisk so the egg is combined well. Then mix in the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Peel a ripe banana and mash in a separate bowl. Fold banana into batter (will not be smooth). Finally, fold desired amount of blueberries into batter. I pour the batter into a 2 cup measuring cup for easy pouring.  Using a nonstick skillet or griddle if you have one, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable and 1/2 tablespoon butter on medium-low heat. Once butter is melted, slowly add pancake batter. I usually make small silver dollar pancakes but you can make them as large as you like. The pancake is ready to flip once you see air pockets on the top of the batter and the edges start to form (usually about 1 minute). Flip the pancake and allow to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. Repeat this process until all batter is cooked. You will need to add more oil and butter along the way so the skillet does not get dry. If your pancakes are burning then the heat is too high. Serve warm with syrup. Enjoy!
