Blueberry-Pecan Flax Pancakes

I woke up today with a craving for pancakes. But plain old pancakes would just not do. I wanted something more substantial. So I pulled out the trusty cookbook, Betty Crocker's Cookbook, Bridal Edition (my mom bought my sister and I each one years and years ago, stating, "it's not like you girls are ever going to get married", Gee, thanks, mom), found a basic pancake recipe (I don't do Biquick), and tinkered with it to create a recipe that would meet my wants this morning.

Blueberry-Pecan Flax Pancakes

recipe adapted from Betty Crocker

1 large egg

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup milled flax seed

3/4 cup organic 2% milk

1 tbsp. brown sugar

2 tsp. vegetable oil

3 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed and drained

1/4 cup chopped pecans*

Beat the egg in a medium sized bowl until fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients; stir well. Make your pancakes. (I would never presume to tell anyone how to make their pancakes because I have yet to perfect the art. But personally, I use a griddle.)

Yield: approximately 10 pancakes

*We were gifted some flavored, sugared pecans over the holidays, which weren't really to our liking. I've been using them in baked goods and my morning oatmeal to get rid of them. I used orange flavored ones in this recipe.
