Buttermilk Banana Whole-Grain Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups whole-grain pancake mix regular or gluten-free
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 ripe banana
  • Oil, for griddle
  • 2 tablespoons kudzu or 4 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons concentrated fruit sweetener or sweetener of your choice, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Separate egg; pour egg white in one bowl and yolk in another. Beat egg white until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine egg yolk, pancake mix, buttermilk and water. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
  • Cut banana into thin slices. Add egg white and bananas to batter and gently fold in.
  • Heat griddle to medium-high and coat surface with small amount of oil. Pour enough batter onto griddle to form a 5-inch diameter pancake. When pancake has cooked on the bottom, flip with a spatula and cook the other side. Keep cooked pancakes in a warm oven until ready to serve.
  • To make blueberry sauce: Dissolve kudzu in fruit juice. Combine kudzu-juice mixture with blueberries and sweetener in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for about 3 minutes, until mixture turns clear and purple. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and serve immediately.
