I generally don't use pancake mixes if I can help it. Homemade pancake batter is very easy and, in my humble opinion, is way better than any mixes you can buy.
If you're a fan of pancakes, here is a homemade batter recipe that no only tastes good but is low in fat and really good for you. It came out of the Turbo Fire recipe book, and is great for a weekend breakfast or a mid-week dinner. (I eat breakfast for dinner all the time. Don't you?) They have a light, sweet flavor because of the honey in the pancake batter.
The original instructions say to make the batter in a blender, but I just mix it in a bowl with a wire whisk. Because that's just how I roll.
If you don't want to use chunks of apples, you could also thinly slice them. Interested in winning an OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer to do the job? Check out this post for directions to enter the giveaway - the deadline to enter is Monday, May 21st at midnight EST.
